to find top level of functional errors etc.
b. White box –Structural testing –code complexity, syntax
testing, code coverage testing is carried out.

6. Assumptions:

logical assumptions that if all parts of the system are
correct?
b) System will support more than 1000 simultaneous
users
c) Database storage capacity of more than 1 lacs users
information.
7. Test Items :
a. Profile.prg
b. Chatting.prg
c. Photos.prg
d. Messaging.prg
e. search.prg

8. Features to be Tested :

a) Price of the system
b) Certification
c) Network bandwidth – standalone system
d) License agreement – open source system

10. Approach : select data capture method and devices, which

reduce the number of
stages.so as to reduce both the changes of errors and
the cost .Input
classification is done.

ii. External
iii. Internal
iv. Operational

Functional testing will be done manually where as open

source tool will be used for performance testings .

11. Item Pass:

a. Attractive Output Screen
b. Support more than 1000 simultenous users
c. Search Facility system – search for members
d. User friendly interface
e. Fast access to database
f. Less error
g. More Storage Capacity
h. Look and Feel Environment
i. Quick transaction
j. Tolerance for 10% less/excess user support

12. Completion Criteria:

The users will have to be trained upon the new system such
as the screen flows and screen design type of help on the
screen.
Type of errors while entering the data, the corresponding
validation check at each entry and the way to correct the
data entered.
It should then cover information needed by the specific user
or group to use the system.
