7. Conclusion

This document provides a thorough overview of the Calculator Application project, covering
everything from its functional and non-functional requirements to its design, system
specifications, and test cases. The goal is to ensure that the application performs all basic
operations correctly, handles edge cases appropriately, and delivers a smooth and intuitive user
experience. By outlining the various levels of testing, including unit tests, integration tests,
system tests, and acceptance tests, this documentation confirms that the application is reliable,
user-friendly, and ready to handle real-world usage. With these steps completed, the calculator is
well-positioned for further development, rigorous testing, and eventual deployment.
This comprehensive approach gives us confidence that the system will meet user expectations
