Testing Plan

[PeteyD]

Hello all,

Does anyone have a test plan for a Meridian system. Basically a summary checklist of issues to be considered before lauching a release?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Peter

after i upgrade the standby cpu, i log on to the non active side, (always good news if the password is not default) then go to load 81 and do a station count. then i switch into it, before i start on the other cpu i test inbound and outbound calls, voice mail, idu a station on each of my remotes, call a few fax machines on the remotes to make sure i get answer tone. nothing very exact, just making sure that the basic features work. testing mail and console, tends to tell me that i can start on the other cpu. i've never had a rls that was bad out of the box. but very good news can be found here, when new rls's come out, if their is a problem, it is usually posted here. also check for the latest patches, both nortel and here at tek-tips. nothing is much worse then starting a job with a working system and killing it with an upgrade. ALWAYS make sure that you have the old rls install disk and keycodes. i will not do an upgrade that i can't back out of. in days past i have had disk 11 fail, pre-cd upgrades were great for having one bad disk, backing up to the original rls was the only out on a non redundant switch
