For the testing phase of the SDLC, we tested four different processes of our business.TEST 1: selecting too many flowers when customizing a planter. We expected an error message to result, and send the customer back to the page to choose flowers again. The actual result was that they system allowed the purchase to continue. RESULT: FAIL.TEST 2: was to purchase products and checkout as a guest. We expected the system to allow the purchase, without requiring the customer to create an online account. This test worked as expected. RESULT: PASS.TEST 3: create a new account with a username that already exists in our system. We expected the system to return an error message, and force the customer to create a different username. The test worked as expected. RESULT: PASS.TEST 4: we created ten sample transactions with a combination of different products and services for our sales people to enter. We expected no errors, and the test passed.10Systems Development Life CycleImplementation PhaseEmployee training will begin four weeks prior to opening.
