Assignment 2

Software Engineering Spring 2008

Test specification

Slides from lecture can be found here

Based on your own requirements document, you must prepare test cases. For each test case, you must give

test data
expected result - and how you plan to check if the actual result is correct
which requirement(s) are tested by this test case (traceability!)

Make sure that

all requirements have tests associated to them
all requirements that apply to the simple ray tracer are easily extracted
you plan ahead for running a serious number of tests in an efficient way
you follow the guidelines for documents

XML

Read an XML presentation in Swedish [PDF document] (slides) do a Google search for XML tutorial.

Example files for the ray tracer in XML format can be found in the /it/kurs/pm2/vt08/xml directory. The DTD for the ray tracer files is here (URI http://www.it.uu.se/edu/course/homepage/pm2/vt08/pm2gl.dtd, /it/kurs/pm2/public_html/VT08/pm2gl.dtd in the Unix file system).

To view or edit XML files the xmlpro [External link] XML editor can be used. The executable can be found as /it/kurs/pm2/vt08/xmlpro on the Unix systems. Documentation [PDF document] is available in pdf format. Before running xmlpro you must copy its license file /it/kurs/pm2/vt08/xmlpro2.01/xmlpro.prp to your working directory.

Use the program xview to view ppm-files.
