We tried not to fall into the trap of making a fix, recompiling, and re-executing, but we eventually found ourselves doing this a couple times. For several of our components, we wrote small applets that would simply monitor the status of our applet to insure that it was working correctly before integrating it into the larger program. This proved an effective way of testing individual components. We followed our testing and integration procedures stated in the Verification and Validation Plan . Due to time constraints, we were unable to conduct any usability testing within the target age group.
