CC.014.2 Award and Package (Project Archive)
User Acceptance Test Overview
The Enrollment to FA Award testing builds on previous testing. During testing users will review students that have been loaded. They will ensure requirements are met to ensure the students are prepared for packaging. Subsequent testing gives users the chance auto package a group of students as well as manually add awards to a single student. The Loan and Pell processing reveals how files are created for reporting to COD. The Bank Mobile submission shows how a checklist is added for cross-modular efforts. Users will also have a chance to create an award notification with the award values populated in previous steps. The final test for this sprint is Apply Enrollment Level Hold where users will do final preparations before moving to testing of disbursements in the next sprint.
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.
