Answer / padmakar kulkarni

Just writing the Test Cases is more of a preventive
mechanism. Executing the test cases is where you actually
validate the written test cases.

Writing Test Cases is Verification or Validation? Executing Test Cases is Verification or Validatio..

Answer / mjt

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the
tests. Writing the test cases can be the administrative
side of both verification and validation. During
verification you are attempting to see if you built the
software or hardware correctly. During Validation you
intent is to ensure that you built the correct software or
hardware (according to requirements). If you do not have
separate objectives you are doubling your work in one area.

Now, as for executing test cases you again are performing
the second section for each test phase. If you are not
writing and executing test cases for each phase, have you
really performed the testing necessary to gather the
required evidence?

In short, writing and executing test cases are both a
function of verification and validation. If you do not have
test cases for each test phase both written and executed
you cannot prove that the test phase was completed and
closed out. One difference between the two is that from an
audit perspective, your validation test cases must maintain
traceability to requirements and be reviewed, approved, and
controlled before execution can begin.

Roads concatenation Problem Consider we have some GIS (Geo Information System) operating over some road network. Each road represented as array of two-dimensional geographical points. Road network is a set of roads. System has function called Concatenate(). This function takes raw road network and should return optimized road network. Optimization lies in concatenating roads with matching start or end points, i.e. if road AB end point matches road BC start point, then optimized network should contain concatenated road AC. Optimized network shouldn’t contain two roads which can be concatenated. Your task is to suggest set of test cases for Concatenate() function in order to make sure it works correctly. public interface IPoint { double Lat { get; } double Lon { get; } } public Road : List<IPoint> { } public RoadNetwork : List<Road> { } public RoadNetwork Concatenate(RoadNetwork roads);
