Abstract: | Because any system, especialiy a new system, should be reliable, a good method of testing the system before it is delivered to its final users is essential. In particular, this thesis is concerned with system test, the test of a system's interfaces. The problem is to find a method for system test that ensures a good system test and, therefore, a more reliable system. Before describing the method used, it is important to define just what the system test is supposed to do. This is essential because system test should not be spent re-testing what other tests have already covered and yet it should not miss anything either. Also, because the system test is a "high level" test, it should not be concerned with the fine details of how various functions are programmed, but instead test the perform::rnce of the system against 3 predetermined set of specifications. In other words, the system test is a black box test from the user's point of view that ensures the system's specified behavior. |
