Overview
Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
The previous week, you had to provide an initial set of software/system requirements needed to capture the functions of the airline reservation system (or other system, depending on your choice). The engineering activity now must enter into the Verification and Validation (V&V) process of those requirements, and the test process.
Discuss at least 3 of the following V&V techniques as part of the V&V process:
- interface testing
- database analysis
- simulation
- walkthroughs
- performance testing
- algorithm analysis
- stress testing
- functional testing
Describe the purpose of requirements testing and what the requirements engineers, designers, and testers are attempting to achieve.
Responses to Other Students: Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with a reply of at least 100 words about their primary task response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening. To help you with your discussion, please consider the following questions:
- What did you learn from your classmate's posting?
- What additional questions do you have after reading the posting?
- What clarification do you need regarding the posting?
- What differences or similarities do you see between your posting and other classmates' postings?
