VALIDATION
Overview:
Regression testing and validation plan based on simulated end-user experience
and performance benchmarks.
Requirements:
Multiple test environment and simulated production environment units.
Benchmark tools such as PCMARK, CrystalDiskMark 6 and 7, Windows ADK,
and so on.
Steps:
1. Review the test plan developed by IT engineering and update, if required.
2. Proceed with the test plan and compare the following before and after the update:
Validating update
Verify the update version and the version that is displayed in Device Manager.
Conrm the expected outcome—functionality, user experience, and so on.
Verify overall PC performance using a benchmark tool such as PCMARK tool,
boot time, disk performance, battery life, and so on.
Functionality and experience testing—Productivity, communication/collaboration,
security, and other essential applications.
Result:
Quantied end user experience through benchmark and actual experience testing is
shared with IT engineering.
Any risks, issues, and feedback are documented and shared with IT engineering.
