Testing, testing

Why are we testing?

We use testing to ensure that all the components of the new OneUniversity solution for Finance and Procurement function as we expect them to. The University supplies a list of requirements called acceptance criteria and we test against these standards.

Who’s involved in testing?

There’s a wide variety of people involved in testing – business process change managers, business analysts, professional support staff, change champions and Finance subject matter experts (SMEs). Finance project manager, Stuart Moorhouse, said: “We’ve conducted a very thorough programme of testing with different groups of people across the Business. This is vital to the success of delivering the Finance and Procurement function of the OneUniversity solution”.

When will Finance go live?

This is a question we’re often asked when out and about, and the simple answer is, only when we’ve completed testing and the system meets the requirements of the business.
