Test Cycles
1 Overview
1.1 Purpose
If additional partner content is added it might be the case that the existing baseline package might be retested to see whether the integration of the scenario still working. This document describes how to do this. Basically all scenarios can be tested stand-alone but also in an integrated way. For this purpose the document helps to test the scenarios according the business processes in sequence.
We split the document according the content structure of the solution in different test cycles. Test cycle one (foundation) describes how to test the scenarios covered in the foundation layer. Test cycle two covers the scenarios in the baseline library.
