1. P7: Test a configuredcomputersystemforfunctionality
Lookingto the workI have completedforthe tasksP5 and P6, I had installedthe followingsoftware:
Norton,Microsoftoffice,andSkype. Ihadalsoinstalledthe softwareforthe TP-LinkwirelessNIC,
thisisshownin the P6 task,in thistask I hadtestedthe software rigorously,andthe picturescanbe
foundinthe document.
Testing software
Below is a summarised test plan for the TP-Link, Wireless NIC software.
Picturesof testingare showninP6.
When testing Norton, I have made sure it is able to detect and remove malware. As
well as being able to check registry errors. I also checked its abilities to create custom
schedules/scans.
Nortonsecurityitself cannotcheckforregistryerrors,youmustuse the affiliate program, Norton
utilities.Ihave addedthe picture below whentestingthe registrycheckingfunction.

The quickscan was effectiveinremovingmalware,asshownbythe trackingcookiesthathave been
removed.The scanwas fastand itwas not resource demanding.The scanwasfinishedwithin5
minutes.
UsingNortonUtilities,Ihave beenable toscanthe registry,thisscan foundtwoerrors,and withthe
systembeingina‘messy’state (i.e.notdefragmented) the scanwascompletedinlessthana

settings.
It ishere that the scans are organised.The automatictasks tab(nothighlighted) customisesthe scan

4. P7: Test a configuredcomputersystemforfunctionality
I had to test Microsoft office, for functionality, and so I made sure that all of the
applications were installed and opened (no picture shown). I then made some routine
tests in the test plan.
TEST 1: fontsize isalso available nexttothe dropdownlist.
TEST 2: Differentfile extensionsavailable,includingpdf,pictures.
5. P7: Test a configuredcomputersystemforfunctionality
TEST 3: I testedthe loadtimes.
TEST 5: In Excel,the formulabaris shown,aswell asthe formulasearchingbox,andevena
categorisedversionof the formulas.WithPowerPointthere are several slideshow buttonsasshown
above.
6. P7: Test a configuredcomputersystemforfunctionality
TEST 6: there is a wordart section,yetitis verybasicand sois disappointing.
The test plan for skype is below. Below that is the evidence for each test
corresponding to the test order.
Figure 1/2 Taken from the skype website
UnfortunatelyIcannottake a picture of the qualityof a call,nor the loadtimes.ButI can assure you
that these were recordedandwrote downaccuratelyinthe testplan.
Desktop shortcuts/ Folder access
I have testedseveral shortcuts,toensure thattheygoto the rightplace I had to not onlycheck
applicationshortcuts,butalsocheckfoldershortcutsonthe desktoppage.AlthoughIcannotshow
youthe process,Ican showyou before andafterphotos.

As youcan see fromthe testingfolderscreen,I have alsowenttothe extenttocheckthe file
managementsystems.Ihave ensuredthatthe preview pane isopen.AlthoughIcannotshow it,I

have ensuredthatthe layoutincludesthe menupane,aswell asthe details,preview andnavigation
panes.I also made sure that the folderwasbeingsharedwithnoone.
The shortcuts thatare shownon the taskbarallow ergonomicaccess.Sousingthe magnifyingtool,I
have ensuredthatitis dockedmode tomake it accessible toboththe able andthe slightedin terms
of eyesight. The use of havingthe magnifierdockedatthe top of the screenmeansthat the entirety
of the screenisstill visible whencomparingittothe otheralternativesandsowouldimprove the
efficiencyof the employee.
Device Drivers
To testwhetherall of the device driverswere installedcorrectly,Ihadto lookat whetherthere were
any unwanted iconsthatwouldrepresentanyproblems(althoughIdidnotfindanyon the system,I
have placedan image foundongoogle toshowcase errors).
9. P7: Test a configuredcomputersystemforfunctionality
Aftercheckingtomake sure all software hasno errors,I lookedfurtherintothe installedhardware
and software.Sotodo thisI clickedthe propertiesbuttonafterright-clickingonthe corresponding
driver.Afteralreadyestablishingthattheywere all installedcorrectly,Icheckedtolookforany
updates.
BelowIhave showna single example astohow I have checkedthe device driverandmade sure itis
updated.Ididthisthoroughcheck to the monitor,speakers,mouse,keyboard,optical drive,NIC,
HDD, and RAM as well asthe printer.Ihave shownthe wayof checkingdriversthroughthe device

For some aspectsof the PC, youcannot checkthe driver.Anexampleof thisisthe RAM, sofor thisI

otherareas suchas the printer, yougointothe control panel,thencheck the versionnumberof the

example),maynotshowupwhenpluggedinoris on the network,soyouuse the ‘add a

Printer Paper Setup
Settingupthe printerpapersize needstobe done intwodifferentways.Firstof all itneedstobe

So,after clickingoncontrol panel,click‘view devicesandprinters’
Thenfindthe printerthatyou want.
Thenfindthe preferencessettingspage (itwill differfromeachprinter)
Afterfindingthis,checkthe settingstomake sure that theyare setto A4.
