Please advice on Testing scope -upgrading frmv7.5.2 to v8.1

Post by cosec »

Hi!

We have upgraded from v7.5.2 to v8.1 in our test server. We have some modules where the jobs are pretty similar [extract from text file and load to DB2 with minimal transformations]. In this case is it suffient to test just one module and asssume the rest of the modules will be alright ? what is the best practice for similar cases ?


Please advice. Thanks.

Best practice is to test everything.

Time and resources sometimes mitigate otherwise, so you need to identify the most critical components and test those.
