| <Introduction | Site map | Acceptance> |
The realization includes all the internal activities of the supplier or of the IT department before the final product can be delivered to the end-user or to the customer.
program or code the software
perform the basic configuration before the application can be transferred to the end-users
write the technical programs documentation
customize and configure the package or the programs
program the specific add-ons, the interfaces with other applications and other migration programs
write the customization and program technical documentations
In every case, write the users
documentation; this one should include:
screens description
reports description
user guide - processes description
error messages - advises
authorized data values
It is very important that the users
documentation is written in a clear language that the users
can understand. The users documentation should always start
from the business point of view and explain how you can solve
a business case by using the application.
The purpose of the project management is to respect the deadlines and to manage the possible ups and downs.
Checklist sample to test
an interactive program.
functional adequacy
methodological adequacy
mandatory data
versus a list of authorized values
versus a fork of values (pay a particular attention to the extreme values !)
compatibility between data
physical input sequence; test illogical mouse driven input sequences
screen refreshment after data input
direct check of the output tables and files
check by the downstream programs
check by reports, control lists, statistics, ...
when using the function, tabulation and other displacement keys
by using the mouse
test also the cancellation of the current operation
coherence of the design, functions, buttons, operating mode throughout all programs.
multilinguism
sub-screens synchronization for the different authorized operations
behavior in case of error; precision of the error messages
for the different user profiles:
selective access to the menus & programs
specific behavior of the programs; selective access to the data
possibility to access the programs from non-official procedures
possibility to access the data from non-official programs
behavior when a transaction is interrupted
concurrent accesses management
Deliver the application and its documentation for acceptance and launch in production
