I guess this is an example of why minutes are helpful. I certainly didn't
come away from the BOG meeting thinking that each functional group was
going to wait until Grant and the testing coordinators discussed the
testing of each functional area before we began testing. Given the
tight time schedule, I thought Grant and testing coordinators would
only have time to figure out cross functional testing.
Ad-cat is ready to start functional testing this coming week. We are
using the User's Guide and the RFP as our outlines for testing and
the test form can be keyed to either. We modelled our plan following
the guidelines that Charlene and Grant discussed at the 3/22 BOG meeting.

Subject: Testing Group
Hi, Grant: When I reported on the BOG/Matt discussion in our ACQ2 meeting
on 3/30, I discovered that we had some different recollections about what
the purpose of the Testing Group was going to be. Here's what some of us
remembered from the BOG meeting of 3/23:
Group to be composed of Grant and testing coordinators from the different
functions would be convened very soon to
1. discuss and share testing strategy for the different functional areas,
recognizing that testing might not be "one size fits all".
2. design an appropriate test reporting form(s)
3. decide how to test across functions
4. discuss how to fit in the RFP with the Users Guide as an outline of
what to test
5. insure that whatever "test plan" we develop meets Institute audit
requirements, as well as system acceptance.
This may be phrased badly, but you probably get the idea of what we were
thinking. Some folks had this broad view, while others were thinking that
the testing group was primarily going to stick to no. 3 on the list above.
Can you provide some clarification for us? I know the Ad-Cat group has
already done some good work on this, and we've got some ideas, but were
uncertain how far to go before the group was convened... Thanks, MGM
