Student loans not tested properly.
-Describe the problem.
Student loans are not being received in time for the new term due to ‘slow processing and crashes’ on the company’s computers.
- What were the consequences to the company and the customers due to this problem?
“But with 100,000 late applications expected to follow next week's A-level results, this could leave many students starting university without money.
Course fees, rent, travel, books, food and other necessities will have to be paid for.”
Students have to begin University courses without the money needed for basic things such as travel, books, food and accommodation. It also means that the courses they are taking may not be paid for. This may lead to problems not only for the students, but for the Universities too.
This can easily lead to the company getting a poor reputation.
- How could testing have prevented this?
If the computers had been checked more thoroughly then the problem could have been detected in test conditions and could have been resolved without affecting the company or society.
