Data Management System Test Methodology Development
Abstract
The document proposes a methodology to be employed in the testing of data management systems and submits some recommendations for the continued development of a DMS Test Methodology. The intent of the document was first to characterize a data management system by identifying the various attributes that should comprise a DMS and summarize the techniques that can be employed in implementing these capabilities. Secondly, the standard test techniques that can be used to measure the capabilities of the aforementioned attributes were examined and, a DMS Test Methodology was proposed. The report illustrates how the methodology would be employed in the solution of some typical DMS measurement problems. Finally, it was concluded that analysis, benchmark programs, and software monitors were the most useful test techniques available and warrant additional development.
