Explanation of Solution

The differences between testing an off-the-shelf information system and testing software developed using an object-oriented language are as follows:

  • An applcation system like MHC-PMS is tested by considering each and every requirement carefully and by developing test cases. It must be tested that the application works very well in all the cases.
  • Object oriented sofware is tested in the perspective of classes, objects, their binding, dependencies, etc. Whereas, the off-shelf-information system applications should be tested in various perspectives like requirements satisfaction, user acceptance, fault tolerance, etc...
