1. Unit Testing: Unit testing involves testing individual components or modules of the application to ensure that they are working correctly. This can help identify any bugs or issues with specific segments of the code before integration testing.
2. Integration Testing: Integration testing involves testing how different components of the application work together. This can help identify any issues or bugs that may arise when different modules are integrated. It ensures that the application functions as a complete system and that all components work together seamlessly.
you are an IT intern working for a small accountancy firm. During the COVID hard lockdown
period, the firm realised that it has to be more adaptable if it is to survive and as such have
decided to develop an application that will allow clients to make use of the firm’s services via an
online platform. The IT department of the accountancy firm will be developing this new online
platform.When a user enters their details on the home page of the application, the client management
subsystem will confirm whether they are a registered user or not. If they are a registered user,
their identity will be verified and they will be able to select a service action such as a statement
request or a tax filing request from the services subsystem. If they are not a registered user, the
system will register a profile for them based on the information they provided, verify their identity
and allow them to select a service action. As yearly tax submissions are time sensitive, the
platform should be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.All systems analysis activities have been concluded for the application to be developed for the
accounting firm. It was decided that the application will run through a web browser to ensure
greater portability of the application. It will only interact with the company’s internal databases
for the time being. All data inside the database will be encrypted.
