Tips

Tips Your system should be robust and easy to use.

Display meaningful text, mention units & assumptions (maybe as a tool-tip).

Use meaningful error messages. What’s wrong, how to fix.

User should be aware of the outcome of an operation.

Tips Try to make wrong inputs impossible.

Separate internal and external representations i.e. use id internally and name externally.

Allow the users the review their status.

What is the id of this item?Why should I care?

Tips Documentation should be clear and concise. Use table of contents, page numbering, titles.

Don’t forget to mention how to run your system.

Often test-plan is written before the system is fully ready. Before submission verify that: The existing tests are still relevant. No tests are missing. All the tests pass.

Install and run your system on a new machine.
