Operating system Validation Testing

Abstract

The report presents functional testing requirements for use in the validation testing of computer operating systems. The requirements are structured in a tabular format and are applicable to the executive/control functions, system management functions and data manipulation functions of current commercially available operating systems. In concert with the tabulation of requirements for each of the operating system functions, further tabulation has also been performed relating the test requirements to the type of environment that the operating system must support: batch, real-time, or time- sharing. Basic testing procedures have been defined to verify the requirements and these testing methods have then been grouped into test packages.
