construction & transition
Construction & transition of new enterprise applications includes the development, test, and deployment workflows.
development
The purposes of development are to:
Define the organization of the code, in terms of implementation subsystems organized in layers.
Implement classes and objects in terms of components (source files, binaries, executables, and others).
Test the developed components as units.
Integrate the results produced by individual implementers (or teams), into an executable system.
The development artifacts consist of:
Implementation Model – Defining components and implementation subsystems.
Integration Build Plan – Defining the order in which the components and subsystems should be implemented and specifying builds to be created to integrate the system.
Build – Constructing components that deliver a testable subset of the run-time functions and capabilities of the system.
test
The purposes of testing are to:
Verify the interaction between objects.
Verify the proper integration of all components of the system.
Verify that all requirements have been correctly implemented.
Identify and ensure defects are addressed prior to the deployment of the system.
The test artifacts consist of:
Test Plans – Identifying the purpose and goals of testing, the strategies to be used to implement and execute testing, and the resources needed.
Test Cases – Identifying the conditions which will be implemented in test and are necessary to verify successful and acceptable implementation of the system requirements.
Test Scripts – Automating the execution of test procedures.
deployment
The purposes of deployment are to:
Ensure that the system is available for its end users.
Ensure that the end users can effectively utilize the system.
The deployment artifacts consist of:
Deployment Plan - Provides a detailed schedule of events, persons responsible, and event dependencies required to ensure successful cutover to the new system.
Installation & Setup Guide – Step-by-step instruction for application and database installation.
Training Manual – Supplementary material for training including handouts and examples.
Operating Manual – Instructions for various system processes by job functions or roles.
User Reference Manual – The source of reference using the application.
Online Help - Context sensitive at screen and field level with hyperlink and provides a portion of user reference manual.
Systems Manual – Used for application maintenance and modifications; includes data dictionary, entity-relationship diagrams, function hierarchy diagram, application map, and interfaces.
