Wednesday/ time to test

My project team is preparing to test the solution that we have created.   It is the first of four test cycles ahead of us. We do not yet have a 100% completely built out solution, but we are ready to test the core components.   We will add the connections and additional functions in the later cycles.   We are using HP’s Quality Center software to create tests with test steps.  (A little ‘meta’ to use software to test software with, not? I remember one of the space shuttle launches were delayed because a test of the back-up software failed. Not that we are creating space-shuttle software!  We are merely tweaking the business software from SAP, parts of which are now well over 20 years old).
