,Test script TransVal 3.1 tests transaction validation via screen TRN 003B. According to
the specification (PID ver 1.3 10b iv) the validation screen should not accept future dated
transactions. Test script TransVal 3.1 passes. Test script eod 1.4 tests end of day
processing and is run after the execution of TransVal 3.1 using data entered during that
testWhich of the following is the BEST detail on an incident report?
A. Title. End of Day failure.. Reproducible. Yes. Description. Script eod 1.4 fails when
the first transaction of the day is a future dated transaction.Screen shot of the failure
attached.
B. Title. Transaction input screen validation..Reproducible. Yes. Description. Script eod
1..4 fails .Screen shot of the failure attached. Validation of transaction entryon screen
TRN-003B should not allow future dated transactions see PID ver 1.3 para 10b iv.
