Test Phase
What is the requirements role in the Test
Phase?
| The Test Phase of Managing Requirements establishes whether the new system is viable and meets Business Requirements. Successful interaction with other systems may also be tested at this time. Different testing teams are established and the testing environment is prepared. Tests may involve simulated scenarios for services or controlled activation of products. Proper Requirements Management techniques involve the development of Test Plans during the Design Phase. Developers make system adjustments and finalize the documentation produced during the Analyze Phase--System Design Document, Implementation Plan, Training Plan, and Maintenance, Operations and User Manuals--based on lessons learned during the Test Phase. Additional deliverables include analysis reports that outline the successes and failures encountered during the Test Phase. Once testing is complete, the Project Manager oversees production of a Project Status Review, which will be read and evaluated by Approvers and other Stakeholders. Summary The Test Phase establishes whether the new system is viable and meets Business Requirements. Test Plans developed during the Design Phase are brought into play. Developers make system adjustments and finalize project documentation based on errors found during this phase.
