Validating Algorithms and Methods Destined for Information System Design Meant for the Business Environment Using Simulated Companies

Abstract:

The paper presents a validation method of the information systems conceived for the business environment. Unlike the audit of the accounting information systems or of the established testing methods of the software, we suggest that for testing and validation of the information systems, they should be implemented and used through enterprise exercise. Through this, besides the actual check of the software we also evaluate the way in which the software applications adapt to the full running of a processing flow of the information, corresponding to some basic functions of the enterprise. In such way we obtain complete and good quality results, at low costs of the evaluation process.
