Scope definition for Cognos Upgrade Testing
In large BI deployment, it is always challenging to define scope for Upgrade project testing as new applications may be rolled out while upgrade testing is in progress as 80/20 rule.
To define scope, we can follow this approach:-
1. Audit reports to collect all reports run in last 1 year covering different frequencies ( yearly, quarterly etc)
2. Audit reports heavily used by users - define more test cases for these reports
3. Identify key applications for Business and reports to have thorough testing including formatting, data and performance testing. Need to engage Busines stakeholders to identify each area to get test scenarios as well as reports that would have more complex logic and formatting
