We are working towards leveraging existing vendor documentation to provide a program view of testing

– Visibility into all project FAT cycles• Including vendor provided documentation for MMS, NMMS, and EMS• Translate existing documentation into RUP-model artifacts• Entering all testing results into Quality Center

– Using existing documentation to trace test results• Working to accommodate all projects existing documentation format

– Using test procedures and converting to test case and test scripts to provide traceability for test results

– Designate testers to help with FAT testing• Test resources gain system knowledge• Provide resources to enter results into Quality Center
