Testing

The testing assignment is to take a recent program you have written in your language class and to design a black-box test suite for it according to the guidelines in the notes, and then to carry out the tests in an objective a manner as possible, and report the results.

Notes

if you are unsure whether your program is suitable, show it to me. You may be able to use an earlier one.

only do the testing when you are sure the program is more or less finished (of course you may have to make small changes later)

group your tests according to the breakdown in the notes

you should have somewhere from six to ten different tests for a small program

there is no need to find or correct any bugs that your find. Just report the results of the program execution, whatever happens.

Deliverables

your source code listing

a description of your test suite

a report on the results of each test
