Development Style
|
Test style
|
|
1.
|
Desktop
|
Event-Driven framwork surrounds
individual procedural functions
The common style is to have a hierarchical
set of menus presenting a
set of commands.
|
Test each function
agaist a written
functions specification.
|
|
2.
|
Client/Server
|
Structured programming command
organized into hierachical
menu lists with each client function
having its own code. The common
style is to combine a common dropdown
menu bar with graphical windows
contain controls.
|
Test each function
against a written
functional specification
and test the server for
its throughput to server
clients.
|
|
3.
|
Web-enabled
|
Visual Integrated development tools
facilitate object-oriented design
patterns. The common style is to
provide multiple paths to accomplishing
tasks. (The net effect is that
you can't just walk through a set of
hierarchical menus and arrive at the
same test result any more.)
