Selenium, JUnit, TestNG and Yasca are automation testing frameworks widely used by the
industry. You are required to demonstrate your ability of correctly identify which testing method
along with testing tool(s) to use to perform a test on a selected program.
You have given a program along with this assignment question as an example of the programs
you can use for purpose of assignments of this unit. The taxMe program mimics some basic
Australian taxation rules by calculating the taxable annual income based on four input variables
including salary, medicareLevy, TBRLevy (Temporary budget repair levy), and Lilevy (Lowincome
levy). The output of the program will be the amount of the payable tax and the income
after tax. It calculates the payable tax based on the following rules:
1. If your annual income is less than $18,200, you do not need to pay any tax.
2. If your income is between $18,201 and $37,000, you have to pay 19% for the amount that exceeds the
tax-free threshold, which is $18,200.
3. If your income is between $37,001 and $80,000, you have to pay $3572 plus 32.5% for the amount that
exceeds $37,001.
4. If your income is between $80,001 and $180,000, you have to pay $17,547 plus 37% for the amount that
exceeds $80,001.
5. If your income is more than $180,000, you have to pay $54,547 plus 45% for the amount that exceeds
$180,000.
6. There are levies applicable to each stage of tax, each will make subtle changes to your payable tax:
o medicareLevy will introduce a 2% increase on the tax.
o Lilevy will offset the first taxable tier to $20,543 instead of $18,200.
o TBRlevy will introduce a further 2% increase, however, it can only be applied to the top tier
of income earners.
Please note that provided program is just an example of what you can use. It is your choice to use
this program or any other program with the same level of complexity including web application
as you wish. Also, note that you need to use the same program for your assignment 2.
Upon satisfactory completion of this assignment, you will be able to conduct basic level research
in software engineering, analyse gathered information, and communicate your findings. To
demonstrate your achievement of these goals, you must write a 3,000-word report.
Your report should consist of the following chapters:
1. A proper title which matches the contents of your report.
2. Your name and student number in the author line.
3. An executive summary which summarises your findings. (You may need hints on writing good
executive summaries from http://unilearning.uow.edu.au/report/4bi1.html.)
4. An introduction chapter which explains about your chosen program, test methods and test tools.
5. A literature review chapter which surveys the latest academic papers regarding software testing
and testing tools which include all papers listed below. You are advised to identify and include
more papers published by ACM and IEEE journals or conference proceedings. Your review must
not simply be a summary of each paper, but rather a deep analysis of the body of work reported in
the set of paper. Your aim in this part of the report is to demonstrate deep and thorough
understanding of the existing body of knowledge encompassing software testing. (Please read
through the hints on this web page before writing this chapter http://www.uq.edu. au/studentservices/
learning/literature-review.)
6. An Assessment and justification of your chosen testing method and tool(s) based on the program.
7. A conclusions chapter which summarises major findings of the study and indicates future work
which should be conducted in the area.
8. A bibliography list of all cited papers and other resources. You must use in-text citations in
Harvard style and each citation must correspond to a bibliography entry. There must be no
bibliography entries that are not cited in the report.
