Testing Programs (OCR GCSE Computer Science): Flashcards

Process ensuring program functions correctly & meets requirements

Reliability, usability, and performance

Checks program works as expected & performs intended tasks

Helps uncover bugs and logic errors during development

Ensures product satisfies original requirements and user needs

Testing during development on individual modules as written

During development, as modules are written

Early detection of errors prevents them compounding later

Testing conducted after entire program is written

After entire program written & development complete

Ensure program is ready for deployment

Iterative during development; final after development complete

Iterative tests modules; final tests entire program

Both needed to deliver reliable, error-free program
