Conduct test

Purpose

Tests are conducted to ensure that the system meets the stipulated requirements. The tests are carried out and the test results are evaluated and recorded.

Basic idea

Provided that the preconditions for doing so are met, the first tests are carried out on the test system. Accordingly, the test infrastructure must have been realized beforehand.

HERMES-specific

The conduct test task comprises:

  1. proper testing on the test system of the realized test infrastructure;
  2. testing of the integrated system as part of the integrate the system into operation task;
  3. testing the realized product as part of the realize product task;
  4. testing the realized migration procedure as part of the realize migration procedure task; and
  5. quality testing as part of the perform quality assurance task.

The tests are carried out according to the test case descriptions in the test concept. They are further specified as needed. The test results entered in the test report are evaluated according to criteria defined in the test concept. The test report is checked before the decision on preliminary acceptance.

As needed, the tests are repeated several times until the quality criteria are met. Open issues from the tests and the next steps in this regard are established by binding agreement. The test plan in the test concept is continually updated.
