Regression testing & UAT

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus

Can you please explain when Regression and User Acceptance Testing(UAT)is done, what is the procedure to be followed.

I have to perform this for an upgrade project. I will highly appreciate if you can provide any documents or templates (as URLS only or attachments to the message, of course) regarding different testing methods.

Thank you very much,

Neela

Hi Neela,

Regression testing is basically done after a Version/Patch upgrade o ensure all the BW functionalities are working fine. Now regression testing is done in different ways in different systems.

Sandbox - All the loads are tested - both manually and thro' process chains. Since sandbox does not have much resources only a sample load is tested. New features delivered with version/patch upgrade is tested.

Dev Box - All the developments are tested here like creation of a cube, ODS, Ino-object, reports, web-templates, etc... No loads are tested here. New features delivered with version/patch upgrade are tested. Creation of a test transport request.

QA Box - All the loads are tested here fully. Since the QA box more or less has the same data/resources as Prod Box a full load test is done here.

If there is any problem faced in any of the tests they need to be resolved first befoe proceeding to the next box. Any OSS Note that is to be applied is first applied in Sandbox then Dev and then QA.

Typically each Organisation has its own set of Regression test Doc prepared. So you would need to prepare one for your needs.

Hope this helps.

Bye
