Abstract :
This paper deals with the use of Structured Analysis just prior to system acceptance testing. Specifically, the drawing of data flow diagrams (DFD) was done after integration testing. The DFD´s provided a picture of the logical flow through the integrated system for thorough system acceptance testing. System test sets, were derived from the flows in the DFD´s. System test repeatability was enhanced by the matrix which flowed from the test sets.
