  12. Accessibility findings – severity Severity measures how large an impact on the user experience a violation of the best practice will have. It is ranked on a scale of 1 to 10 based on user experience analysis; this ranking represents the impact that a violation of the best practice would have on users. A violation of a best practice with a severity of 1would have virtually no impact. A severity of 10 represents an insurmountable obstacle in the user experience. 

  13. Phase 1 – Test Execution Findings

  14. Accessibility Testing Next Steps • College help to prioritize findings for ctcLink • Project Team has logged Sev#2 Service Requests with Oracle • Working with Oracle Rep to set up discussions with Oracle; Product Managers in each pillar to provide the product road map for Oracle to resolve the findings in PeopleSoft • Project and Support have begun working on PeopleSoft login and Self Service priority fixes • Complete Phase 1 – Mobile/Message Center Testing • Begin Phase 2 Accessibility Testing

  15. ctcLink Load Testing - scope • Perform load testing on the technical components of ctcLink (App, Web, database and network) and ensure that Application works as expected under heavy loads • Identify areas where performance is poor and at what conditions • Identify the core business processes including “Fluid” and the performance test scripts for the applications to be tested • Determine application limitations under maximum number of active users performing common transactions and provide recommendations to improve service and delivery

  16. Ctclink Load Testing – Approach • Test frequently used transactions with significant impact to performance of the system • Test system with 30% of the current production population • Execute test scripts on current production-like build and on “projected” like build after recommendations are implemented • Executed scripts on six (6) different machines parallel witheach processing 3516 users • Utilized test cases from multiple user types like Student, Faculty, Staff, Employee and Manager • Followed an incremental/iterative approach to identify the break points for predefined load

  17. Test results for Portal to Campus Solutions “Search for Open Classes” transaction Post recommended Changes. • Test script was executed through iHub for 21100 users with ramp up period of 0.1 seconds • 28% students were able to perform the transaction successfully • 72% students were dropped out at multiple stages of transaction Reasons for failure: • Web server not available/not responding • Gateway timeout • Bad Gateway • 99.99% students were able to complete the transaction successfully • 0.01% students were dropped out

  18. CS Faculty Transactions Results CS Student Testing Transactions Results • All the tests are done through iHUB portal • Tests were performed on 2426 users with ramp-up period of 0.1 seconds

  19. Fin Transactions & Testing Results • All the tests are done through iHUB portal • Testing results for all FIN Transactions

  20. HCM Transactions & Testing Results • All the tests are done through iHUB portal • Tests were performed on 6758 users with ramp-up period of 0.1 seconds

  21. Vendor recommendations (Some Already Implemented) It is assumed that the recommended configuration is maintained 24/7 to meet the anticipated load. Load balancer server was not distributing the load among multiple servers equally; Burgundy addressed this issue. Burgundy reported that the Auto-scaling feature is not enabled on AWS. Therefore, we performed an incremental/iterative approach for load testing. If SBCTC thinks the overall cost to maintain the recommended configuration is too high, data analysis can be carried out after six months or one year to identify the total load on the system, and configuration can be modified accordingly.

  27. SBCTC Production Support Team Form Organization's comments to above signature, if any: The production support group represents the Campus Solutions, Finance and Human Capital Management pillars, along with data services, security, training, testing, application services and legacy teams. Overall, the production support group is in support of a Go decision for the DG2 deployment both at the organizational and software perspectives. The largest concern is the lack of knowledge transfer around new features/functions of Campus Solutions 9.2, fluid navigation, configuration guides, and the go-live support model for post-upgrade and conversion activities. The production support and project team leadership will be meeting on October 1, 2019 to address the needs and develop a plan moving forward. Other concerns are addressed in the DG2 Readiness Criteria workbook under the SBCTC support checklist worksheet.
