HW13: Chapter 8

 8.7. Write a scenario that could be used to help design tests for the wilderness weather station system.

A meteorologist wakes up and begins his early morning routine. Once his ritual is completed he heads out the door and to his work. Once there he logs into his weather monitoring system. Logged in, he can view all sorts of information that is needed to accurately predict the weather. He also needs to routinely check to make sure all the instruments are functioning appropriately as well.

8.10. A common approach to system testing is to test the system until the testing budget is exhausted and then deliver the system to customers. Discuss the ethics of this approach for systems that are delivered to external customers.

This is an extremely flawed model for testing a system. While there is no way to 100% know there will not be any bugs in a system one should still commit the appropriate amount of time to the project in order to make sure it is of the highest quality possible.
