1. Static Testing Code Review/Verification –Code is reviewed by the developer after each change Individually and with code sessions –Use of Visual Studio’s debugger wxWidgets warning flags Memory leak detector with Visual Studio

2. Dynamic Testing Requires manual user inputs/interactions Many test cases are performed by developers while running the actual application –UI components such as the buttons, dialog inputs, file choosers, icons, sounds, etc –Non-UI components such as preference loader, network communication, user name validation, etc

3. Dynamic Testing Unit Testing –Testing each individual component as written UI Components: Running the program and use/ensure the new component works Non-UI: Individual main methods to test out functionality (with Preference) External tools used –Visual Studio Debugger »stepping through each line to ensure the result matches expectation –Web browser »looking at send/receive output from the server

4. Dynamic Testing Boundary –Related to user inputs –Run a standard set of tests to ensure correct handling by using the software Number values –Setting several time periods to be the same and to 0 Names –Long (up to 100 characters) and short names (1 letter) Files –Long folders structure/names –Long sound names

5. Dynamic Testing Exception –Related to user inputs –Run a standard set of tests to ensure correct handling by using the software: Invalid values for numbers –negative numbers, numbers > 99999 –Empty input Invalid input for names –names including characters other than alphanumeric characters and ‘-’, names longer than 100 characters long –Empty string Invalid file selection –non-existing files –Empty input

6. Stress Testing Run a standard set of tests to ensure correct handling by using the software: –Multiple clicks/sends –Changing preferences repeatedly to different files/values –Having no preference file or an incomplete preference file Another way to track memory usage (to look for leaks)

7. Compatibility Test Windows –Tested on multiple XP and 2000 machines –We expect it to work on Windows 98, but not extensively tested due to unavailability Mac –OS X 10.3 (2003) and above

8. Beta Testing Jofish –Several beta test users Bug reports reported back to Jofish, forwarded to us Developers –Our own developers –Recruited several beta test users Bug reports reported back to us directly For faster feedback and quicker bug detection For targeted test cases –Different operating system –Different system configuration –Different user profile and expertise level
