Part 1 – Testing (7 marks)
The Acceptance test (3 marks)
Introduction
The goal of this acceptance test shall be to check whether the plagiarism checker has met
all the business requirements as mentioned in the systems requirements specification and shall be
vital in the final sign off of the system and eventually going live (Tsen et al., 2012). This
document seeks to provide the procedure that shall be followed in the acceptance test. The
following requirements shall be planned in the acceptance test
Functional Requirements
1. Track student submissions
2. Detect plagiarism
3. Report plagiarism to student
4. Report plagiarism to the tutor
Nonfunctional requirements
1. Secure login
2. Optimized performance
3. Increased reliability
4. Effective and efficient
5. User-friendly
Acceptance test plan
The following aspects of the plagiarism checker shall be tested under the acceptance plan
and their failure will mean the system will not go live unless all the tests are passed (Haugset and
Hanssen, 2008). They include;
F1: Ability to detect plagiarism from a copy paste text
F2: Ability to detect translated texts from online sources
F3: Ability to detect clause quilts and or mosaics

Bachelor Of Information Technology 3
F4: Ability to track when the student made assignment submission
F5: Ability to report the plagiarism report to the student
F6: Ability to report to the tutor the plagiarism report
F7- Ability to do batch processing of the student assignment
To fully do the tests as per the plan, the following test cases are outlined

Black Box Testing
Introduction
The black box testing for the Microsoft word 2016 print screen is subjected to a behavioral
test to check how the interface responds to various user events and behaviors (Vos et al., 2013).
The test plan focuses majorly on the functional part of the print module but other non-functional
components are also subject to the test plan (Zeil, 2013). The various parts to be tested are
enumerated below
1. Putting a negative value in the number of copies field
2. Clicking on the printer property window
3. Changing my default printer setting in the system
4. Putting a negative value in the page to be printed
5. Setting back to back printing setting
6. Changing the orientation to landscape
The various items to be tested is then matrixed in the table below and shall be used in the
final execution of the plan i.e. it will act as the blueprint of the black box test to be conducted
(Mariani et al., 2012).

Part 2 – Configuration management (7 marks)
Code/file version management (2 marks)
The configuration management part was done by signing up to the GitHub account under
the alias of franklinokech as the username to enable the forking of the repository hosted on
GitHub under the alias of ammarscu (Mergel, 2015). The forking enabled me to have a copy of
the repository in my GitHub account, where It was clone to my local machine for offline editing.
The edited copy was committed and pushed to my repository where a pull request was launched
to request the project manager to merge the changes with the mainstream project(Rastogi and
Nagappan, 2016)
Build management
Overview
The Microsoft build management alias MS Build, which is an open source tool that helps
the developer to automate the process of building software by automating mundane tasks such as
compiling, testing, packaging, and deployment of software based on the .net framework targeted
for the application(Imeshev, 2008). Every build creates a clean version of the system
incorporating all the changes that have been made (Pinnix, 2015).
Advantages
The tool speed software development by automating most tasks such as compiling,
testing, packaging, and deployment compared to when the process requires another set of tools to
do the builds.(Chen and Qumei, 2010)
Enhance the accuracy of the system by ensuring clean builds since the MS Build
maintains the versions and history of previous builds and produce a clean built on every build
done (Brunswig and Kaiser, 2010).
Disadvantages
It is not an open source with little community support
It is majorly used for Microsoft based architectures hence can’t run software build with
MSBuild in Linux or OSX

Bachelor Of Information Technology 9
Microsoft Release Management
Microsoft uses the MS Build to manage their release cycles by following the process of
build to deploy to testing then continuous improvements
Build
In the build stage, the product undergoes rigorous development t and fixing of issues that
may arise during the development. The developer conducts the unit test and integration tests to
ascertain compliance with the set user requirements. The IDE can be used to automate some of
the build stages (Bassil, 2012).
Deploy
After the build, the software goes to the deployment stage where the product is integrated
to make it usable by the users. At this stage, the internal users can use the systems and identify
bugs (Lindgren et al., 2008).
Testing
The product is undertaken to a user acceptance test and beta tests to check if it meets the
user requirements and business needs. Once it is accepted by the users, it goes live
Maintenance
Software products undergo continuous improvements to fix bugs and patch some security
issues that may be associated with the new product. This is an ongoing process.
Part C – Request for Proposal (RFP) (6 marks)
Kool Dudes Mobile
Management Information Systems
Request for Proposal

Bachelor Of Information Technology 10
Background Information
Kool Dudes Mobile is a business that deals with the mobile devices ranging from sales of
new devices, repair of broken ones and sales of mobile accessories to clients with headquarter in
Kitoo market with five other branches in Kimusi, Tatu, Bulu, Taita and Teveta locations.
System Description
