Lesson 8 - Testing and Improving Programs 3

Course 2
Inspiring the next generation of digital innovators
Lesson 8 – Testing and Improving
Programs 3
By the end of the lesson you will understand:

• How to test for logic errors

03
Activity 1
• We have looked at testing the functionality # logictesting.py
and operational content of code we have # This program presents an opportunity to test both a loop and a
# selection construct.
written.
• The logic behind a code also needs to be import os
import string
tested.
• Program logic is tested by following and Age = 0
Again = 'Y'
testing every path of the program that will run
during execution. while (Again == 'Y'):
os.system('clear')
• The test data should test every boundary print ('MEMBERSHIP CARD CREATOR')
(above and below as well as the actual print ('\n\nThis system creates a membership card based on your age')
print ('------------------\n')
border value). Age = int(input('Please input your age: '))
• Planning a logic test can be complex if (Age <=16):
print ('\n\nJUNIOR MEMBERSHIP')
because of the amount of parts that need to else:
be tested. if (Age <= 60):
print ('\n\nADULT MEMBERSHIP')

C o de else:

Let’ s print ('\n\nSENIOR MEMBERSHIP')


Again = input('\n\nProcess another Membership Card? Enter Y or N: ')
And Lookis e at the steps for a logic test
Again = Again.upper()
c t print ('\n\nProgram Ending......’)
04 Pra shown in the example.
Key the code into Python, debug it and run the program.
Activity 1 – continued
The following shows the four lines of code which need to be tested for logic:

05
Activity 1 – continued
Look at the test plan below.

The data chosen is testing for valid/invalid inputs and testing the boundaries of the condition for each selection.

<= 16 - you test 15 (valid), 16 (valid), 17 (invalid)

Conduct the test and


record the results.

Now create a blank test


plan to test the logic of the
program you created in
Lessons 4 to 6.

Use the debugging tool


you were introduced to in
Lesson 6.

• Functional testing
• is where the solution created is checked against the original

Lesson Summary problem to make sure that it contains the functionality


needed to solve the problem.
• Operational testing
– Understand • Testing calculations to make sure that the answers
calculated are correct.
How to Test for •
•
Calculations should be tested at least twice.
Use the line numbers to identify which bit of the code is
Functional and •
being tested.
Expected and actual results should be recorded and any

Operational actions taken to correct code should be noted
