2. Who Should Help in Testing? Clients To ensure they can properly interact with the system IT Staff To ensure all technical and program functions are working properly Management
3. Transactions to be Tested All transactions should be testes Extract deductions Transfer Funds Apply Deductions Focus on Security
4. When to Test Testing should be done throughout project development More thorough testing should be performed near the end of development Should continue for a short period after implementation to remove any missed errors
5. Questioner What is your overall opinion of the new ESIP system? Do you see any advantages the new system has when compared to the old? Disadvantages? Has the new system made your job easier, harder, or had no impact? How so? Does the new system lack in any areas that you have noticed?
6. Disadvantages of Cutover More risk than other changeover methods Detecting minor errors is more difficult Cannot revert to the old system as a back-up
7. Other Methods Parallel Operation Old and new systems operate full capacity for a specified period Data is input into both systems, and the output is compared When clients, management, and IT are satisfied that the new system operates correctly, the old system is deprecated and phased out
8. Other Methods Pilot Operation Implements the new system at a specified location The first group to use the new system is called the pilot site The old system continues to operate for the entire organization, including pilot site After the system proves successful at the pilot site, it is implemented in the rest of the organization.
9. My Recommendation My recommendation is to use the Pilot Operation method Best way to guard against total system failure Less risky than Total Changeover Allows for more accurate post implementation testing It is less expensive than running a parallel operation throughout the entire company
