The author Joelle Charbonneau wrote the book The Testing. An amusing fact about Joelle is that she taught many students how to sing. In an article Joelle states “My students are a wonderful source of inspiration and continue to teach me life while I teach them about singing” (Charbonneau… New York Times). The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau is about a girl named Cia who is selected to go through a testing program to test her knowledge and see if she can attend a certain college. Cia has many roadblocks, but that does not stop her from doing her best. People should recommend this book because of its connection to the article titled New Surveillance Technology. The message of this book is that knowledge is power, so don’t betray it.

Performing functional, Black Box, integration, system, regression, user acceptance (UAT), and performance tests on Java and .NET based web applications.

According to an article “Build A Great Web Experimentation & Testing Program” of Avinash Kaushik who is the author of Web Analytics 2.0: The Art of Online Accountability and Science of Customer Centricity, there are 7 recommendations of how to build a successful testing program:

The universal screening method I chose for students at a third grade level is standardized testing. This testing process can be used in two ways to help determine which students need intervention. The first way is by using the achievement subtests in reading. The subtests would be provided to all students at the beginning of the day. The morning I feel is the best because the students minds are fresh and ready to go. The specific tests that would be provided to these students for reading would be oral reading and sentence reading fluency.

A testing business thoroughly tests other businesses’ apps and websites for glitches, flaws, etc…New websites or apps usually never get test properly. There is a demand in this field and potential growth in particular niche markets.

Someone once said, “if you don’t like testing your product, most likely your customers won’t like to test it either.” Nothing turns off customers faster than a website that is not functioning correctly. A customer will most likely not comeback to a website where hyperlinks are consistently displaying “404 Not Found” error messages or URLs that navigate users to wrong pages or destinations. With that said, it is of utmost importance for every business to implement a robust testing program for ongoing or future initiatives which have direct impacts on their customers experience. Having a robust testing program will ensure that major deficiencies are accounted for and fixed prior to implementation and roll out to the end-user community.

P 3.1 Select and use appropriate testing methods to check that all elements of websites are working as planned

Abstract – Today, there are millions web application or web app on the internet, including app market, such as Amazon app store, Apple Store, Chrome App Store, etc. The web application is server-based application, and client no need to install the software in their local pc or laptop. User just need to use compatible browser to access the web application at anywhere and anytime. In fact, the web application still a form of software. To develop a successful software, an appropriate software development method is critical. Because, it is a guide book to monitor the development life cycle throughout the development project. In this work, two popular methods will

This report summarises the various aspects of the IS Platforms that I deal with, also detailed on the benefits it provides to the field I am working on and briefed out some constraints or issues it has which is yet to be resolved.

This research report discusses about the object oriented (OO) environment and the strategies that are used for testing an object oriented environment. The report also lists the tactics and metrics for testing in an object oriented environment. The object oriented approach closely relates the programs to the real world with the help of objects. The popularity of OO approach has increased due to ease of reuse and modular architecture that leads to quality software. Software testing is important to ensure delivery of error free software. Testing an OO program is challenging because of the complexity due to interconnection among the components. Various testing strategies and methods can be followed to test OO software. Apart from the strategies and methods certain metrics need to be considered and used to measure the quality of the projects. Software metrics are proven measures for measuring the development of the software process.

In 2003, authors Sandra Thompson, Martha Thurlow, and Michael Moore reported of what would become the development and streamlining of computer -based testing as the predicted forerunner in to satisfy and exceed the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) expectations established by politicians in Congress. The authors mentioned how the shift in technology with computers and internet in education are bound to change the modem from which schools that have traditionally done standardized pencil and paper based tests to doing it through the computer and internet to reflect the change in education utilizing internet and computers more heavily as the medium for which students are learning. The authors also indicated some of the distinctive beneficial characteristics that this transformation would have in assessment including producing immediate results while breaking it down into statistical segmented categories of identification including gender, ethnicity, language fluency, disability, and income levels of classification; and that over time these tests may be more cost efficient to adopt and use over time in comparison to paper based tests. Furthermore, the authors also predicted the potential of other additional benefits that such testing would allow including options for pre-programmed accommodations for testing, various student selection features, and tests items that are varied and genuine.

Software project management is necessary to develop a high quality software product. Software project management involves the activities of planning, organizing, directing, monitoring and controlling. We are concerned with the risk factors which will affect the management activities and the developing project will not proceed according to the plan. The term “Risk” is a problem which can threaten the success of the software project. But we often assume that everything will go exactly, it is planned [1]. A challenge for IT industry is to develop software system that meets business needs. The fact is we have to deliver software that is free of bugs. The bugs in software can cause major loss in IT organization if they are not removed before delivery. Software testing is as old as the hills in the history of digital computers. The testing of software is an important means of assessing the software to determine its quality. Since testing typically consumes 40 - 50% of development efforts, and consumes more effort for systems that require higher levels of reliability, it is a significant part of the software engineering. Software testing is performed to support quality assurance [2].Good quality software can be made by using an efficient test method. Statistics say that 50% of the total cost of software development is devoted to software testing even it is more in

With the development and expansion of the Internet, many fields and opportunities are opens for online studies, carrier development and business. The Internet allows people to communicate with others, share their excitement subjects of interests as well as shopping online with less hassle. Specialized website provide people with more specific information regards to the subject they need. This refers to governments, schools, and university education websites. Many university in the world has online learning website that helps students to do more interaction with their study online. Yet, web developer’s work hard to make websites to behave and function well. In this report I am going to examine Massey university website to find how it interact with the students. The evaluation process is going to look at the usability goals, the cognitive aspects, social and emotional issues of the website.

This statement by Cal Newport (ref https://books.google.dk/books/about/How_to_Win_at_College.html?id=UF7PAU_FPW4C&redir_esc=y) describes very well our approach to software development. As we already worked together in a group, we knew our strengths and weaknesses. Our strengths are the implementation and good collaboration while our weakness is the documentation. As our previous projects did not result in a finished product, we were determined to make it happen this time. After developing our project idea, we had to decide on an adequate software development method. We discussed this issue at great length and came to realize that only an agile method would suit our purpose. Our application is consumer focused, making consumer feedback and input
