Testing Maturity
Phased approach
Testing is a continuous process whilst building and assuring a solution to make it production ready.
The early phases of testing can happen in isolation, however, when moving to assure a solution, achiveing Technical Conformance and finally onto Business Go Live, more rigorous Test Plans must be followed. This ensures the range of actors (other suppliers, DoS Leads etc.), required for a successful test, can be appropriately co-ordinated. See Test Plans section for further detail.
