1. Section: Startup

     • Enter non-existing employee. The function should return a message box informing the user that the employee does not exist.
     • Enter incorrect name or password. The function should return a message box informing the user that the name or password was invalid. After 5 attempts the user account should be locked.
     • Enter invalid password. See above.
     • Enter correct name and password. The function should allow the user to proceed to the main menu.
3. Section: Main Menu

4. Section: Logout
   • Tests
     • Ensure that the user is properly prompted so that they know that they are logging out. Attempt both logout and cancel. A cancel should return the user to the last menu they used. While a logout should exit the system cleanly.
5. Section: Shutdown
   • Tests
     • Ensure that the system closes the data bases as well as exits correctly. This will require an examination of the database structure, something that is easy to accomplish in access.
