  End-to-End
Testing
This means that testing follows a transaction from one end
of a system to the other, exercising all parts of the system.
No parts are "stubbed out" or "dummied".
For example, a transaction entered at an ATM flows to the
message switching computer, is written to an audit file, is placed
in a database, is retrieved by the mainframe transaction processor,
updates an account, is posted to a file that will update the
general ledger, etc. The idea is to ensure that the whole process
works sucessfully, from one end to the other, with no problems. |
