Question 1

Explain the distinction between unit testing and integration testing.

Accepted Answer

Unit testing focuses on one unit of the system, a class, to verify that the unit performs as defined in the program specification. Integration testing focuses on a set of classes that must work together. This testing looks at the flow of control between classes and on the data that is exchanged.

Question 2

Discuss the tests performed during system testing.

Accepted Answer

Requirements testing tests to whether original business requirements are met in the new system. Usability testing tests how convenient the system is to use. Security testing is concerned with disaster recovery and blocking unauthorized access to the system. Performance testing examines the ability of the system to perform under high data loads. Finally, documentation testing assures the accuracy of the documentation for the system.
