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 scope items can be tested stand-alone but also in an integrated way. For this
purpose the document helps to test the scope items 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 scope items covered in the foundation layer. Test
cycle two covers the scenarios in the baseline library.
