Advise on testing scope -Upgrading to version 8.1 from 7.5.2

Post by cosec »

Hi All,

We are upgrading from version 7.5.2 to version 8.1. I would like to check if it would be necessary to test all jobs using datastage or to perform a selective testing. What is the best practice on testing due to version upgrades ?

I'd test everything if possible within your project time constraints - particularly if you are in production.

I would be surprised if you found any differences if the jobs all compile but it is better to be able to prove that you did due diligence.
