Evaluation - What do I need to know?
Notes & Slides
Fitness for purpose
A database is deemed fit for purpose if it meets the requirements determined at the analysis stage.
The functional requirements and query test results can be used to decide if a database solution is fit for purpose.
If the database is not fit for purpose, it will be necessary to revisit previous phases of the development process.
Accuracy of Output
We have already discussed that you have to test and evaluate your output from the database to ensure that is correct.
If there is different output from what you expect then there can be a few different reasons:
- Your SQL queries were incorrect (logic error) and producing inaccurate query results.
- The data in the table(s) is different from what you were expecting
