TESTING OF A WINDOWS-BASED TRANSPORTATION APPLICATION: THE LRSEDIT EXPERIENCE

The LRSedit system is a Windows-based application that links national databases such as the Highway Performance and Monitoring System (HPMS) to the National Highway Planning Network (NHPN). LRSedit manages and automates updates to the HPMS-oriented linear referencing system (LRS) data for each state and uses the LRS to integrate annual HPMS data onto the NHPN. The systematic testing approach used for LRSedit demonstrates an effective procedure for detecting errors and malfunctions in Windows applications.
