Task 2 - testing

AS91880 Develop a digital outcome

For this task you are required to

Apply appropriate data integrity and testing and procedures in the development of the outcome. (A)

using information from testing procedures to improve the quality and functionality of the outcome. (M)

AS91884 Use basic iterative processes to develop a digital outcome

For this task you are required to

trialling components of the outcome in an iterative manner (A)

testing that the digital outcome functions as intended (A)

using information from testing and trialling to improve the outcome (M)

trialling multiple components and/or techniques and selecting the most suitable (M)

For merit you need to explain what it is you have done to sort out the problem you found in testing, describing how this improves your outcome.

Merit - after testing my animation/game the background music is too loud and the sound effects are lost. This affects the user's experience, the player/audience does not get the feedback from the sound effect that informs what is happening. I have reduced the volume of the sound effect and increased the volume of the sound effect at the critical times. Thus improving the player/viewer experience.

using information from testing and trialling to improve the outcome (AS91884)

Blog - throughout the development of your project you should be testing it to ensure that it works and to improve the outcome. Evidence this in your blog, remember not a diary.

Show your thinking, and problem solving skills. Take screenshots and explain how you have fixed or improved your outcome.

If you find errors or things that do not function as intended, take a screen shot and explain how you have overcome the problem.

Again not every step but some of the more challenging ones, you are trying to demonstrate that you are testing and solving problems in a logical order.

While you are creating your outcome you will debug, test and trial throughout the process to ensure that you outcome will function as intended. Do not wait until the outcome is completed to try it out.

for example -

export you animation at different times and upload to youtube to test that it plays correctly.
import the sound effects or background music and make sure they play correctly and volume is set
Save different version of your game to ensure that should it crash you will not lose everything.
Construct your game in small parts and test it runs frequently. Create the splash page and make sure the buttons function correctly before moving onto the game.
make sure that your scoring system works
proof read any text
ask others to test it, you know how it works so will not press the wrong buttons, testers do not and may well show you where your errors are.
