Phase II (Sep 93 - Mar 94): Phase II testing

'And we actually did hit the projected day for release of the system. We had done some testing in advance. I had written a system test plan which I went through, but that was very much, a sort of cross between unit testing and system testing. ... I was really testing the second version of the system myself. But that was really right up to the last minute. The problem was, no acceptance testing was done by the users. ...

There were errors in the system, they weren't things that would stop it operating. ... There were some things that had to be corrected still. But they were pretty minor. You know like labels being wrong on screens and things like that. ... nothing that we thought would effect the central functionality of the system. However, once they started using it, as I say there was no opportunity to do acceptance testing, and I think again that was in hindsight a mistake that was effected by this, well it's not really a rewrite, it's the same system but just in a slightly different format so the functionality is the same.'
