﻿We used the bottom up strategy to do the integration testing. We started by creating the individual parts using unit testing to see if the stand alone classes and functions were working. Then we tested the functions that interacted with each other. To test the connection between the server and client we decided to test across multiple windows platform in which we found the best compatibility to be on windows 8. Interactions between the different PCs needed to be tested.  If an order was placed on the waiter PC, we tested to see if it would come up on the chef’s queue. When an item was added on the the database on the web server, we checked to see if the item was found in the menu. We checked to see if a single change in an individual PC showed up on another PC.
