Features of software testing in the development of geographic information systems

In this article, the method of selecting a method of testing geographic information systems is proposed. Nowadays, thanks to advances in information technology new methods of data exchange, positioning technologies, improvements in spatial databases, there has been a significant leap in development of geographic information system. When choosing a testing method, it is recommended to take into account not only the financial component, but also the specific characteristics of the tested software system. A list of questions is developed by which qualitative properties of software systems are formalized. The list of questions is based on the ISO/IEC 25010:2011 model. The relevance of this work follows from the fact that new technologies of software development require new approaches to testing software systems. Properly developed testing technique improves the quality of geographic information systems created. Improving quality increases the competitiveness and demand of software products.
