TE.040 System Test Script

Doc Ref: September 26, 2011

Overview
This System Test Script documents the steps needed to test the integration of application extensions with the target application system with respect to the General Ledger process. System testing measures the quality of the entire application system, using system test sequences and scripts. You must create scripts for all business processes based on the Mapped Business Requirements (BR.030); however, the focus of business solution testing is confirming individual business processes, while business system testing focuses on confirming the collective application system. This system test will include the following types of testing: Integrated Business Processes Security Testing

Century Date Compliance

In the past, two character date coding was an acceptable convention due to perceived costs associated with the additional disk and memory storage requirements of full four character date encoding. As the year 2000 approached, it became evident that a full four character coding scheme was more appropriate. In the context of the Application Implementation Method (AIM), the convention Century Date or C/Date support rather than Year2000 or Y2K support is used. It is felt that coding for any future Century Date is now the modern business and technical convention. Every applications implementation team needs to consider the impact of the Century Date on their implementation project. As part of the implementation effort, all customizations, legacy data conversions, and custom interfaces need to be reviewed for Century Date compliance. Testing activities need to make sure that all interfaces and application extensions are coded for Century Date compliance. System test scripts should include steps for testing Century Date compliance.
