ORGANIZATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF THE GIS SOFTWARE TESTING

Abstract

The testing stage, creating great opportunities to verify and shape software reliability, significantly increases the cost of its production. The effectiveness of the work related to testing, expressed by the interdependence of the level of program product reliability and the cost of testing it, strongly depends on the adopted testing strategy, specifying the organization and scope of the work performed.
The paper attempts to present a general description of the software testing process complex software systems such as GIS systems, with particular emphasis on the organizational and technological problems associated with the implementation of this process. The paper contains a description of the organization of the GIS software testing process and a description of the technological aspects of its implementation.
