Although feature tests use data, they do not directly pertain to data validation. Examine the application as a whole to verify that its features function properly in real-world scenarios. Although test data can be used to validate features, system tests do not directly relate to data validation. In addition to testing application features together, consider verifying the proposed system setup. For instance, if the organization implements a coexistence strategy, set up the MESA CXA, Notes, and Exchange Server native replication schedules and test them, confirming that replication operates as scheduled.
Regression testing can also relate to data validation.
This section of the test plan describes application features and includes a test checklist. In Exchange Server, the Exchange application gets the current system date and sets the Date form property when a message is composed. Test Checklist Verify that the correct date displays when the document is composed. Save and reopen the document, and verify that the composed date displays. Change system date, open document, and verify that the composed date displays.
