Propose a revised testing plan for Azuka Theatre (Problem 3). Break down your plan into a sequence of detailed steps and use a paragraph to write a memo justifying why the new plan is superior to the one Mark and Allison proposed.

Problem 3

Your systems analysis team is close to completing a system for Azuka Theatre. Kevin is quite confident that the programs he has written for Azuka’s inventory system used for keeping track of stage scenery and props will perform as required because they are similar to programs he has done before.
Your team has been very busy and would ideally like to begin full systems testing as soon as possible.
Mark and Allison, two of your junior team members have proposed the following:

a. Skip desk checking of the programs (because similar programs were checked in other installations;
Kevin has agreed).

b. Do link testing with large amounts of data to prove that the system will work.

c. Do full systems testing with large amounts of live data to show that the system is working.
Respond to each of the three steps in their proposed test schedule. Use a paragraph to explain your response.
