Objectives
1. To understand the critical issues in software testing, including but not limited to black box, white box and grey box testing. (You can mainly focus on the black-box testing techniques to design and execute your test cases in Assignment 1. However, you may know some white-box testing such as path coverage theories to help you evaluate your black-box testing coverage and redundancy. Then, in Assignment 2, you can focus on the white-box testing techniques and integration testing techniques to conduct an overall evaluation of software quality.)
2. To demonstrate the ability to research and apply proper techniques to detect given bugs.
3. To write a proper essay for a specific topic and presenting/arguing the findings.
Problem Statement
Selenium, JUnit, TestNG and Yasca are automation testing frameworks widely used by the industry. You are required to demonstrate your ability of correctly identify which testing method along with testing tool(s) to use to perform a test on a selected program.
You have given a program along with this assignment question as an example of the programs you can use for purpose of assignments of this unit. The taxMe program mimics some basic Australian taxation rules by calculating the taxable annual income based on four input variables including salary, medicareLevy, TBRLevy(Temporary budget repair levy), and Lilevy (Lowincome levy). The output of the program will be the amount of the payable tax and the income after tax. It calculates the payable tax using the rules below:
1. If your annual income is less than $18,200, you do not need to pay any tax.
2. If your income is between $18,201 and $37,000, you have to pay 19% for the amount that exceeds the tax-free threshold, which is $18,200.
3. If your income is between $37,001 and $80,000, you have to pay $3572 plus 32.5% for the amount that exceeds $37,001.
4. If your income is between $80,001 and $180,000, you have to pay $17,547 plus 37% for the amount that exceeds $80,001.
5. If your income is more than $180,000, you have to pay $54,547 plus 45% for the amount that exceeds $180,000.
6. There are levies applicable to each stage of tax, each will make subtle changes to your payable tax:
- medicareLevy will introduce a 2% increase on the tax.
- Lilevy will offset the first taxable tier to $20,543 instead of $18,200.
- TBRlevy will introduce a further 2% increase, however, it can only be applied to the top tier of income earners.
