NSF Community A NS Financials User Community of “champions” to provide its members with some of the following services: • periodic meetings • a newsletter • a library of information • an online presence (such as a website) • technical support
What is UAT? • The purpose of UAT is to ensure that the upgraded PeopleSoft 9.1 system functions equal to or better than the current 8.8 system • The tests are to determine that the system is functioning as expected and that the users are ready to move the tested business processes into production • Tests are intended to demonstrate to end-users that they will be able to successfully perform their business functions with the new system in place
UAT Approach • Test Team for each stream • Project Team to book rooms for testing sessions • Project Team to supply test topics • Test Team to add any test scenarios specific to their business • Test Team to perform tests and record issues • Project Team to be present during the sessions • Project Team to collate issues and work with IT to resolve
What is required? • Test scripts for every process defined during the design with scenarios, exceptions and variations • Able to execute test scripts in a thorough, patient manner with attention to detail, including taking good notes where necessary • Quality testing produces quality results
