FF.003.4 Process/Maintain Payment - VC07, VC22 (Project Archive)

User Acceptance Test Overview

The information below is intended to provide colleges guidance on performing a User Acceptance Test on this business process. The business process shown in the flow diagrams below may be only part of what is needed to complete an end-to-end test of a full business cycle. Coordination with other colleagues at your college in advance of commencing testing is key to success. In the same way that it doesn't take a single individual to operate the business of running a college it will require coordination across departments to successfully test a business flow from beginning to end.

This final step in the Travel and Expense high level (Tier 1) flow is broken down into 4 distinct parts. Two of these are steps (Stage Payments and Unstage Payments) are completed as part of the FF.003 Travel and Expense to GL high level flow and two are test steps (Canceled Payments and Update Paid Status) rely on activities happening in other high level (Tier 1) flows. Those are represented by the off page connectors (home plate shape) from FF.001 Procure to Pay to GL that show the predecessor or 'upstream' task coming from the other test activity.
