Chapter 15. Testing Client/Server Systems

The success of a client/server program depends heavily on both the readiness of an organization to use the technology effectively and its ability to provide clients the information and capabilities that meet their needs. If an organization is not ready to move to client/server technology, it is far better to work on changing the organization to a ready status than on installing client/server technology. Preparing the organization for client/server technology is an important component of a successful program, regardless of whether it is an organization-wide client/server technology or just a small program. If the organization is ready, the client/server approach should be evaluated prior to testing the client systems.
