Approved System Tests

 

Purpose

 

The purpose of this deliverable is to document the results of all tests against the complete solution environment and all sign-offs verifying that these results are acceptable. Both technical and functional teams conduct these referenced tests using the test plans created in phase 3. All tests should be run iteratively until satisfactory results are achieved. All procedural documentation should be updated based upon these final results. For each case, end-user sign-off should be recorded as approval that the desired results were achieved.

 

How should it be produced

 

The following tests should be conducted according to the plan in phase 3 and their results documented.

 

·         The failure test results are the documented results of the failure scenarios tests

·         The volume test results are the documented results of the volume tests

·         The stress test results are the documented results of the stress tests

·         The system administration test result is the documented result of the system administration test

·         The printing and faxing test result is the documented result of the printing and faxing test

·         The disaster recovery test result is the documented result of the disaster recovery test

·         The regression test result is the documented result of the regression test

·         The backup and restore test result is the documented result of the backup and restore test

·         The connectivity test result is the documented result of the connectivity test

 

What if it is not done

 

This is a required deliverable, as all the defects for the complete solution environment get resolved in the above tests and the sign off is obtained.

Additional Information

 

There are many tools available to track testing phases. Most assign defects to test cases, which indicate a problem with the execution or result of the test. Resolving all defects results in completion of the test cycle. Most tools can also be used to record approvals or sign offs on the tests.
