2. External Interface Requirements
3. Other Non-functional Requirements
 Performance requirements
 Safety & Security requirement
Items that will not be tested are:
As each of the features are important to evaluate the software in terms of it applicability
as an effective project management software, all the requirements have been considered
for the testing.
1.3. CHART FOR THE SOFTWARE TESTING:
Here the testing is divided into 3 different test category which will evaluate
different features in each category:

TC_MI_01 Evaluation of
System
Features and
Functional
Requirements
Things that was as per the
requirement was project
collaboration, project creation,
project planning. However
improvement is required in system
login in terms of security.
Improvement is also needed in
project tracking and reporting in
terms of speed and complexity.
TC_MI_02 Evaluation of
External
Interface
Requirements
Performance is effective on
windows OS, and MAC OS in
terms of ram management but the
software need optimization on
Chrome OS
TC_MI_03 Evaluation of
Performance
requirements
Performed well during testing as
the preferred requirements were
met properly
TC_MI_04 Evaluation of
Safety &
Authentication is not that effective
as the system has issues in terms
