At the start of this task, the SA Group SMEs conducted a review of the processes for obtaining permission to connect a new system to existing UK Defence networks and to access that system from other systems, which identified a number of stakeholder organisations whose requirements needed to be satisfied.
The team developed a test and integration strategy that would provide the evidence necessary for each of the stakeholder organisations. A number of test environments and configurations were then designed that would allow the running of tests that would provide the evidence needed. The team then worked with the owners of the equipment to deliver a tailored test environment for each test event.
For each test event, our SMEs wrote a test plan and detailed test scripts and provided a test report at the end the event. For each submission by the project to a network or system stakeholder organisation for permission to connect, we provided a summary and analysis of the evidence from the test events, written to address the specific interests and requirements of the particular stakeholder organisation.
