salman i think u should sticky this topic, its important and many students could learn how to attempt paper 3, and many dont even know that the topic is pre-known! one of my friends opted for coursework, and he doesnt know, we prepared the flowchart the same as the last two years

I think not because, it recieves very less traffic. It would occupy the space for other new threads!

  • Decision box.

But have you ever studied the use of these symbols? I mean I have used them in Ms Viso and also while making my project, but our sir told us to refrain from it as CIE examiners can comment anywhere stating the use of these symbols, an un-aware candidate might be at disadvantage! I guesss additional would be require for paper 3 so better start learning it :p

White box testing involves checking the internal structure of the developed software like the algorithms, codes etc.
Alpha testing is the test carried out by other programmers.
Beta testing is when a sampling of the intended audience i e laymen try out the software
Acceptance testing performed by the customer, often in their lab environment on their own hardware, is known as user acceptance testing (UAT)
Volume testing is testing system with different amounts of data to see how well it can cope.
