User Requirements:
MP Creamery in San Diego only sells ice cream sundaes. They would like to use a GUI screen to accept input orders. There are two choices for the size of a sundae ordered: large ($1.50 each) and small ($1.00 each). A customer can only pick one. As for the toppings: they offer three: peanuts, hot fudge, and whipped cream. One can choose none or any combination of them. An input order can be composed of more than one sundae.
The system should support order processing and the end-of-the-day operation. After the user has clicked the "Done for the Day" button, the system should display
"Total No. of Sundaes Sold - Large:
"Total No. of Sundaes Sold - Small:
Then the system should display "Bye' and shut down by itself.
Screen Design:
The system designer, your colleague Mr. X, took the above user requirements and designed one and only one GUI screen as below. Mr. X claimed that his work for screen design is done.
Scenario: You are an independent tester who is doing the testing at this stage. Assume that the user requirements are good enough for the developers to code from. Evaluate the work and find four different problems with it.
For each:
(a) identify the relevant test factor listed on pp. 318 to 320 of the textbook,
(b) describe clearly what the problem is, and
(c) why it is a problem.
- What is missing?
- Which part of it would not work in the real world?
- Can the different identified problems belong to the same test factor?
