N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 9 § 6212.6 - Acceptance testing
(a) All
hardware and software purchased shall be tested following delivery. The purpose
of the acceptance testing is to determine if the hardware, software,
documentation and other materials delivered meet the terms of the
contract.
(b) Acceptance testing
shall be performed in accordance with the plan submitted to and approved by the
State Board as part of the proposed contract before purchase, except that other
requirements may be added to the plan if, at the time of delivery or in the
course of testing, the county board or State Board deems it advisable to do
so.
(c) Acceptance testing shall
include but not be limited to the following:
(1) Examination of the manufacture's
specifications for all hardware delivered in order to confirm that the
equipment supplied is that which was promised and described in the
contract.
(2) Functional testing of
the system, hardware and software, by county board personnel with instruction
and assistance of vendor personnel. The functional testing shall be performed
with actual source documents, including specimens of all the varying types of
such source documents that will be used in the conversion and maintenance.
Special attention shall be given to such factors as the speed of the equipment,
ease of understanding and operation, the adequacy of the software
documentation, capability for accommodating the variety of source documents and
quality of signature facsimile both on the screen and on hard copy. The testing
shall not be cursory but shall be as extensive as possible and shall take into
consideration the response of the system at times of high stress.
(d) The process of acceptance
testing shall be documented by the county board of record all testing performed
and the findings therefrom.
(e) The
county board shall certify to the State Board that acceptance testing has been
completed and shall supply to the State Board a copy of the documentation of
that testing.
