ICT Quality

Introduction

Testing of the software and system is important for investigating the functions and effectiveness of purpose for which the system is designed. The major use of testing techniques and tool is to gain the information about the quality, reliability, accuracy and errors of software. The present report will analyze the testing methods and techniques that have been used for analyzing the performance, gaps in functions, optimization of process, adaptation and usability testing of ERP.

RationalThere are several issues like integration of

modules, data related issues, performance, accessibility, security issues and customisations that affects the implementation of ERP.

The study will identify the testing methods which could be used for identifying the issues in an ERP implementation.

Understanding of these issues is important for applying the appropriate testing and overcome the gaps.

Scope The scope of the current study is to analyze the different testing methods which could be used for testing an ERP system.

The study would also propose a testing process for the testing of an ERP system.

BackgroundThe ERP system is implemented to

serve benefits to the users of an organization. Therefore, it is required that each module is tested for its functionality.

The testing of ERP system is important to indentify the issues which could prove to be costly in future.

Testing an ERP system requires several types of testing like user, functional, integration, load testing etc.

AnalysisTesting phase of the ERP system implementation

is importantto validate the functionalities and configuration of

the systemand to deliver high proficiency at end user.Functional TestingIntegration TestingDeveloper Side TestingUser TestingLoad TestingSimulation

Performance TestingFor the performance testing, a Web

Application Stress tool by Microsoft would be used.

The tool offers a user interface using which a stress test could be executed.

In this a web link is accessed by web clients and performance is assessed.

The objective of the performance testing is to test the web pages of the ERP application.

Environment for testingThe application would be tested on the

local network environment

While creating a script, following are the options which a user has:

The report is available in the software which presents the statistics like total number of requests, failures and success.

RESULTSTesting is an important element of system

development and implementation that helps to maintain the effectiveness as well as improves the performance in terms of accuracy of information, usability and functionality according to needs of clients.

According to research it is been carried out that testing of ICT system both pre and post implementation helps to analyze the performance.

The major impact of testing is on the usability of ERP system as the factors like configuration, data processing and operational activities need to as per the customer expectation
