What is a Database File Structure?

Includes field names, field types, field sizes, primary key, and validation checks.

What are Input Methods in system design?

Input Screens must be easy to read, use appropriate font size, style, and color; Data Capture Forms should have suitable text boxes, dropdowns, radio buttons, or checkboxes; Navigation buttons are used in input screens but not in data capture forms.

What are the general design principles for input screens and data capture forms?

Consistent layout, good color scheme, well-used white space.

What are the Processing and Output Methods in system development?

Processing must include calculations and comparisons; Output Methods must include output screen and report layout design.

What is Test Design in software testing?

Testing data structures, file structures, input formats, output formats, and validation routines; ensuring all components function correctly and interact seamlessly.

What is a Test Strategy?

Test each module to verify individual components work correctly; test each function to ensure all features work properly; test the whole system to confirm overall performance and integration.

What are the key components of a Test Plan?

Test Data: Specific data used for testing; Expected Outcomes: Predicted results based on test data; Actual Outcomes: Results from testing; Remedial Action: Steps to fix identified issues.

What are the similarities between a Test Strategy and a Test Plan?

Both are used in design; both are documents created by developers; their results impact the software’s implementation.

How do you test a system?

Unit Test: Tests individual modules separately and checks module relationships and data flow; System Test: Conducted after unit tests to ensure the entire system meets user requirements.

What are the different types of test data?

Normal Test Data: Data within acceptable limits; Abnormal Test Data: Data outside acceptable boundaries; Extreme Test Data: Data on the boundary of acceptability; Live Test Data: Data used in the actual system.
