The Test phase of the Workday Student implementation is comprised of several testing types. Click on the test types individually below for more details.
Unit Testing
Tests the configuration within a functional area. Unit testing is narrow in scope and ongoing throughout the implementation.
Lifecycle Testing
Holistic, business function testing focused on specific outcomes that achieve multiple objectives. It includes initial data conversion, integrations, configurable security, and reporting, as available. Lifecycle testing is ongoing with the scope increasing in depth over time.
End-to End-Testing (E2E)
The holistic, business function testing that crosses functional areas. E2E Testing includes final in-scope data conversion, integrations, configurable security and reporting and is holistic in scope.
User Readiness Review (URR)
URR is the holistic, business function testing using select scenarios performed by an extended end user group.
Regression Testing
Isolated testing that ensures there is no impact on business functions due to recently released functionality. Regression Testing is focused on impacted areas and milestones.
Mock Semester
A simulation of business functions performed by faculty, staff, and students to mimic a full semester of activities. Mock semester testing is holistic in scope, focused on the student lifecycle.
Tenant Data Validation
Verifies converted data and configurations collected in Workbooks are accurate and complete in all tenant builds. Tenant Data Validation confirms that key data was loaded correctly in the tenant.
Smoke Testing
Ensures the build is complete and ready for tenant validation by executing short tests to ensure all key functional areas are working correctly.
Performance Testing
Validates that critical functions and integration production schedules will meet production requirements.
