Representative
Example
For the development of an application intended for eventual use on a UNIX platform, a Windows-based platform was used
as the test environment for the system test. The assumption was that the functionality would not be affected by the
platform difference. A UNIX-based test environment was used for the UAT and PAT.
Continuous Example
When adapting an application that was used for annual contract renewals, it was
necessary to perform tests on several dates and times (time travel). As such, easy modification of the system date was
a requirement for the test environment. Furthermore it was necessary, due to the time travel, to create regular backups
and restore them later. Not a complex combination of operations, but it did put a lot of work pressure on the
administrators of the test environment. It was therefore decided to develop a menu screen containing the various
operations and make it available to the testers. This relieved the administrators and allowed the testers to have
better grip of their environment.
