Data that is run through a computer program to test the software. Test data can be used to test compliance with controls in the software.
simulated transactions that can be used to test processing logic, computations and controls actually programmed in computer applications. Individual programs or an entire system can be tested. This technique includes Integrated Test Facilities (ITFs) and Base Case System Evaluations (BCSEs).
a testing work product that captures the cohesive information (e.g., data or objects) that exists in the form of a file or database that tests need to execute successfully.
Sample data that simulates valid data the program might process when implemented, used when desk checking. 12.12
Sample data that mimics data the program might process once it is in production; used with a desk check of the logic of the algorithm. 15.12
The set of specific objects and variables that must be used to demonstrate that a program produces a set of given outcomes. See also: Disaster Recovery, Test program
A data set independent of the training data set, used to fine-tune the estimates of the model parameters (i.e., weights).
Test Data are data which have been specifically identified for use in executing test scripts, and are used to verify the expected results obtained.
