Software Maintenance Exercise #3: Defect Submission
The object of this assignment is to learn
how to submit requests for maintenance.
I have paired you off on this homework
as follows:
<Table of
student pairs should go here. This
should be a different set of pairings than for Exercise #2>
You need to locate an electronic copy
of a software project of yours that contains over 1000 lines of code and which
you can let other people look at that code.
You should then exchange electronic copies of your projects with your
“partner” as soon as possible, and also email me a copy of each project as
well.
You are to then test the project you
have been given from a user’s point of
view i.e. you are to do something akin to Beta testing. If you as a tester need help in understanding
how to run and use the program, ask your “partner”. You are then to fill out a Defect and
Maintenance Report, whose template is here.
Note that only part of that report is to be filled
out by the user (tester), as is stated in the template instructions. You should then submit your Defect and
Maintenance Report.
The report generated for each project will be used
for actual maintenance of each piece of software (by a third student, to be
announced) in Exercise #4.
