Systems and Application Audit Work Program

The purpose of this work program is to provide the general steps used to perform a systems and application audit. Testing examples include systems designs, component integration, interfaces and data conversion routines.

Although testing will not prove that the software is completely error free, formalized testing will assist with the identification and eradication of errors while providing a logical and methodical approach to ensuring that a range of scenarios has been examined. Testing demonstrates and verifies that the system processes conform to the results expected under a wide range of conditions that could reasonably have been tested.
