For Pass standard
, learners will select the test methodologies to use on a software
product. For example, they will choose to unit test the core functionality of a software
product.
Learners will produce test cases based on a software specification or user requirements
for each product. For example, a test case for logging into a software product will consist
of a title (‘Main Program: The user can log into the system’), with
steps to reproduce
(1: Open the program, 2: Type username into username text box, 3: Type password
into password text box, 4: Press or click login button).
Expected results would contain,
‘The user will log in to the system’, and actual results would be left
blank until the
test is carried out.
Learners will perform tests on
the products using a test plan, which contains the
range of tests to be conducted and the test cases, formed from the analysis of the user
requirements document. For example, the requirement may state that they have the
ability to manage their own user accounts in the software. A range of tests would need
to be written to cover the ‘manage’ term for
this requirement,
such as adding, removing
and editing users.
Overall, the evidence will be logically structured and it may be basic in parts. It may also
contain minor technical inaccuracies relating to software testing terminology and some
of the tests selected may not be appropriate or performed systematically.
