  • Unit Testing
    • Definition of unit testing can be found on the QA wiki as well as this projects wiki
    • Keep the 5 day unit test window - new functionality has been introduced; the time for testing/resolving issues is needed
    • We used an Access db to store a catalog of the transactions we tested by whom and compared to last year
      • concept was good and has value
      • provided visibility to who was testing what as well as the status
      • the execution was rushed (the db was not really "production" ready)
      • the tool was a little klugy 
      • better solution should be explored (within SAP, within SM)
    • Should consider storing unit test cases in QC to promote a single consistant cataloging approach
    • A lot of discussion around what should be unit tested, how it should be tested and how it should be documented
      • QA will follow up on this effort
  • SIT/UAT Testing
    • QC - central repository for catalog of test cases
      • Worked well as a catalog for test cases 
      • Great for monitoring execution status
      • Saved preparation time of test "lab" for BAs (cases already in QC and available for use)
    • Test cases for the most part were not ready for QC formatting
      • Cases are/were designed for printing
      • A focused effort updating the cases to be QC formated would be beneficial to the process (requires resources)
      • Validate test cases as we build for QC; vet with the business much earlier (not in Oct/Nov) – of course that requires BPO availability.
    • Automation
      • Was successful (though only a limited number of cases were automated)
      • Desire to expand automation for the next SP project (40%)
      • Need to communicate what was tested through automation, how it was tested and what the results were.
      • BPOs need to reach a comfort level with the automation tool and testing results.

Transports

  • Transport management processes executed by the transport coordinator need to be documented.
  • Transport freeze
    • IS&T has this processed well defined and understood
    • Could explore another environment to allow development efforts during the freeze (assuming resources are available to do the work during the freeze)
  • Critical transport process
    • A consistent approach should be defined for all similar projects (there have been minor differences from project to project)
    • Critical transport process for this project worked as defined.
