It minimizes the risks of defects in the operation of cross-cutting business processes in the system during its interaction with other systems, or during an integration of several subsystems/modules into a united system.

Deliverables

  • 01
    The final report includes the following:
  • Information about the level of functional accuracy of the developed product obtained as a result of integration corresponding to the requirements specified in the documentation
  • Information about the number of defects in the operation of the system’s cross-cutting business processes or modules and their severity
  • A list of defects with a description of the problem and methods for its reproduction
  • 02
    Integration testing methodology (MS Word)
  • 03
    Testing scenarios (MS Word)
  • 04
    Testing requirements (MS Word)
  • 05
    Test data for conducting tests in accordance with the scenarios (MS Word)
  • 06
