Testing
4.1 Unit Testing
Unit testing is a fundamental part of the testing process that focuses on testing
individual components, functions, or methods in isolation. The goal is to ensure that
each component performs as intended and produces the expected output. Unit tests
are designed to catch bugs, identify errors, and validate the correctness of code at a
granular level.
Testing Functions: Individual functions within the VB.NET code are tested to ensure
they work as expected. For example, the function responsible for calculating the total
price of items in the cart is tested with various input scenarios.
Boundary Testing: Input values at the boundaries of their valid ranges are tested to
ensure proper handling. For instance, testing how the system handles when a user
tries to add more items to their cart than available in stock.
Cart Integration: Testing the integration between the user interface, backend logic,
and database when adding products to the shopping cart. This ensures that data is
accurately updated and retrieved during the shopping process.
System testing evaluates the entire system as a whole to ensure that it meets the
specified requirements and functions as intended. It covers end-to-end scenarios,
simulating user interactions and testing various use cases to validate the system's
overall functionality, performance, and security.
User Scenarios: Testing the complete shopping journey, from user registration and
product browsing to adding items to the cart, making payments, and tracking orders.
