Testing Phases

Unit Test	System Integration Test
Core team: IS&T Technical & Functional responsibility Covers discrete critical transactions and programs Goal is to identify glaring catastrophic failures through simple execution of transactions and programs. Scripts optional List of what was tested is required Ensure frequently executed reports and transactions are tested	Core team: Combined IS&T and Business Testers Scripts required using current and updated script catalog (stored in ALM/QC) 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.
