	- Core team: Functional leads responsibility, but may optionally involve business
 
	- Scripts required using current and updated script catalogue
 
	- Include discrete transactions and programs and/or end-to-end scenarios. End-to-end scenarios must cover discrete tests of critical functions
 
	- Validation consists of validating test results rather than just identifying catastrophic failures
 
	- Cover all critical scenarios or transactions. Also targets functionality and processes that are more likely to be affected by the system updates such as highly customized functions or those which have been affected by prior updates.
 
	- Ensure frequently executed reports and transactions are tested (see attachment).
 
	- Business owners invited and encouraged to participate.
