Although Mr. Woytiuk was initially appointed Head of Testing, his project coordination duties became more time-consuming as the project progressed, and thus the position of Head Tester was assigned to Mr. Cobb. As Head Tester, Mr. Cobb interacted on a constant basis with the Programming Department Head - Mr. Wieler.

Testing procedures were changed significantly from the original implementation under the leadership of Mr. Cobb. It was decided that one, focused and extremely efficient group of testers would perform all major testing of the program code. This elite group consisted on Mr. Cobb, Ms. Wang, and Mr. Woytiuk.

Comprehensive testing was performed on each program version, as it was created and released by the Programming Department. Tasks were divided evenly among the Testing Group, and self-made schedules were strictly adhered to. As well, each new version of the program code would be shown to the leaders of the three main design areas, to see if it met with their approval.

Reports were received regularly by Mr. Cobb, from Ms. Wang and Mr. Woytiuk stating their progress on the current batch of tests. As a result of this group's efficient structure, testing never fell behind schedule, and all planned testing procedures were implemented. In fact, the Programming Department created a testable version one week early, and as a result testing was completed ahead of schedule.

Unit Testing was used to incorporate the individual module testing for each part of the program code. Each module was run through a set of tests that were used to determine correctness and consistency between the specifications and the actual program code. Any errors encountered were documented and returned to the Programmers with a detailed description of the error and what the actual result should be, according to the specifications.

Integration Testing was implemented to incorporate large sections of code that used more than one specific module. This included modules that required data from more than one data store, and functions that were interrelated with other functions. Any errors encountered were documented and returned to the Programmers with a detailed description of the error and what the actual relationship should be.

Physical code tracing was used by the Testing Division for extremely hard to locate bugs. Fortunately this method was used sparingly, as it was very time consuming.

If a bug or error was found, it's location was noted and the conditions which caused the error were taken down in order to be reproduced by the programming department. The testers then sent this report to the Head of Testing, who then verified the error for himself, and forwarded the report to the Programming Team. Once the error was corrected, another report listing what was done to correct the bug/error was returned to the Head of Testing. This method allowed us to track bugs and errors effectively, and also gave us the ability to keep a record of discovered bugs for future reference.
