11 : Test Factors

Test Factors

Test factors are those factors that are required to be considered in order to verify that the user requirement has been met in all terms. These factors are as follows:

Example: Ceiling Fan

Type of Factor

1. Correctness (The purpose it is meant for, it is the virtue by which a system conforms or a process suffices the reason for its existence.)

1. When we switch it on it should start blowing air.
2. When we switch it off it should stop blowing air.
3. Regulator should be functioning – speed should increase/ decrease accordingly
4. Rotate in clock wise direction.
5. Wattage(200 watts) and voltage (110-220v)

2. Negative Testing (Status should always be fail.)

1. Should fall from the roof.
2. It should shake while rotating.
3. While rotating blades should touch the ceiling.
4. Should give shock if we touch it

3. Integration

1. External – Mounting cover, motor are held together.
2. External - Wings are held properly with the center body.
3. External – Rod fitted in the ceiling fan should bind with the hook in the ceiling.
4. Internal - Wiring, capacitors etc works together.
5. External - Connection between regulator and fan through wiring is proper.

4. Usability

1. Arrow marks should be on the regulator.
2. 12345 no. for regulator.
3. Regulator should be handy, easy to handle, shouldn’t be too small or too big.
4. Clap enabled, Voice enabled, thought enabled.

5. UI (Shape, size, color)

1. Color should fulfill requirement.
2. Surface is smooth.
3. All the wings should be of same size.

6. Performance

1. Cycle rotation per minute at the time of peak speed.
2. It works continuously at the highest speed.

7. Compatibility

1. Works with different hooks in the ceiling.

8. Security
