Testing (10 Marks)

Design a test plan

  • What are you going to do?
  • What data are you going to use?
    • If the assignment gives you test data – use it!
  • What are the expected outcomes?
    • These will be compared with actual outcomes.

Show evidence of your testing

  • Clearly labelled results of testing should be included.
  • Actual outcomes need to be compared with expected outcomes
  • Include a statement which explains whether your system works or not.  “As a result of my testing I can see that ….”
  • Describe any changes you will make as a result of testing

Marking criteriaTesting – should include a test plan (which may be in Design section) and test printout

1-2          may be awarded where candidates have printed the test results with no explanation

3-4          some evidence that the testing has been attempted

5-6           Must include a limited test plan (identifies limited test data and expected outcomes) and an attempt to test some results against the plan.

7-8          must include a reasonable test plan (what is being tested [and how], with some test data and expected outcomes) and a printout compared against expectations, describing any changes needed.

Website testing – a complete test plan and teacher confirmation to achieve 9-10, without teacher confirmation 7-8 marks are appropriate. Website testing – teacher confirmation alone indicates an attempt at testing by the candidate (award 1-2 marks)
