A moderated testing session is administered in person or remotely by a trained researcher who introduces the test to participants, answers their queries, and asks follow-up questions. Conversely, an unmoderated test is done without direct supervision; participants might be in a lab, but it's more likely they are in their own homes and/or using their own devices to browse the website that is being tested.

Unmoderated remote usability testing

Unmoderated remote usability testing occurs remotely without a moderator. It offers quick, robust, and inexpensive user testing results to be used for further analysis. Test participants are asked to complete tasks in their own environment using their own devices and without a moderator present, which leads to the product being used naturally. The cost of unmoderated testing is lower; however, this type of testing offers less detailed testing results.

In my opinion I believe that Moderated Testing is the best choice for the Space Booking application. This is because there is testing sessions and it will ask Space Booking users to answer their questions in terms of bugs within the application.

 

It's referred to as a glass box testing/transparent testing. In this type of testing, the tester is aware of internal functionality. The internal structure of an item or function to be tested is unknown.

It is a type of testing, tester not aware of the internal functionality of a system. The internal structure of the function to be tested is unknown.
In my opinion, I believe White Box Testing is the best type of testing for the Space Booking Application. This is because, the tester is aware with the internal functions within the system. This is something that you may not get with other types of Unit Testing.

Selenium

Pytest

Pytest is the main testing environment for Python, which is widely used for writing and running test code. It is easy to write small tests using Pytest, while it can also scale up and works perfectly for testing complex applications and libraries. 

I believe that the best Integration Testing Tool for the Space Booking Application to have is Selenium. My reasoning for this is that it is so easily used as well as being accessible in any browser. Selenium works with Chrome, Firefox and Safari as well as headless browsers. In addition to this it can run on different systems such as Microsoft Windows, Mac and Linux.

WAVE is a suite of evaluation tools that helps authors make their web content more accessible to individuals with disabilities.

In my opinion, I believe that Google Lightout would be the ideal accessibility testing tool for the Space Booking application to use. I believe this because, it allows the quality of the web pages to be improved which is a huge benefit. As well as this it has audits for performance, which is crucial so the developers of the Space Booking application can see how the app is performing.

Rally Software is an enterprise class Application Lifecycle Management Software-as-a-Service platform that serves as a project management and collaboration tool for Agile software development teams. 

 

In my opinion, Atlassian Software Tool would be the best acceptance testing tool for Space Booking to have. This is because, it is a flexible tool as it can run on many different systems and browsers and it can be ran on-premise as well.

Trello is a collaboration tool that organizes projects into boards. In one glance, Trello tells you what's being worked on, who's working on what, and where something is in a process. It is basically a white board, filled with lists of sticky notes, with each note as a task for you and your team. Trello is web based meaning that you can access a Trello board from any device that has an internet connection.

 

Clickup

ClickUp is a cloud-based collaboration and project management tool suitable for businesses of all sizes and industries. Features include communication and collaboration tools, task assignments and statuses, alerts, and a task toolbar. 

 

In my opinion I think that Trello would be the ideal organisation tool for use with the Space Booking app. This is because it is free which means that the money saved could be put elsewhere, and also is of a good quality for being a free service.

Jira is a software application used for issue tracking and project management. The tool, developed by the Australian software company Atlassian, has become widely used by agile development teams to track bugs, stories, epics, and other tasks. With the right product roadmap software, your product team can automatically sync updates of tasks in Jira with its roadmap. This will allow you to display an up-to-date picture of your development progress, and it will help make your team’s roadmap a single source of truth.

 

BugZilla

Bugzilla is a robust, featureful and mature defect-tracking system, or bug-tracking system. Defect-tracking systems allow teams of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs, problems, issues, enhancement and other change requests in their products effectively. Bugzilla is currently in active development and is supported by a dedicated team working on it.

 

I personally recommend that Blu-sun use JIRA for bug tracking, as it is highly rated and supported, and is entirely free for 10 users or under.

Microsoft Teams is a proprietary business communication platform developed by Microsoft, as part of the Microsoft 365 family of products. It has many features such as:

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Teams, and other software such as Zoom and Google Meet, gained much interest as many meetings have moved to a virtual environment. As of 2021, it has about 250 million users.

 

Slack

Slack is a proprietary business communication platform developed by American software company Slack Technologies and owned by Salesforce from 2021. Slack offers many IRC-style features, including persistent chat rooms organized by topic, private groups, and direct messaging.

Chanty

Chanty is an instant messaging tool that helps increase equipment productivity through its excellent interface. It allows you to have an unlimited message history, task management, file sharing and powerful notifications organize. You can do many things as a team with Chanty.

 

In the end, I would personally recommend that blue sun use Microsoft teams for their communication, as it is a well known platform with a very big developer behind it, meaning if they have any issues teams has a dedicated support team available. Teams also has an extremely cheap business option available should blue sun decide to upgrade in the future.

Discord is a very popular tool that people use to collaborate with eachother. With discord, you can have servers that include separate text channels and categories to spread workloads out, voice channels that can also be used to share videos or a screen, and a robust file sharing feature.

Overall i would recommend that blue-sun use discord for their collaboration tool as the base program is free which would cover most of their needs, however it has a very affordable premium package should they want to upgrade in the future.
