  • Validate that these Talent Development Core features still works after you make any configuration change such as applying an upgrade or developing an application. Copy and customize these quick start tests to pass when using your instance-specific data.

    Danger:
    By default, the system property that is used to run automated tests is disabled to prevent you from accidentally running these tests on a production system. To avoid data corruption or an outage, run tests only on development, test, and other non-production instances. See Enable or disable executing Automated Test Framework tests.

    All test suites and tests should pass on a default implementation. To validate a custom implementation, copy the automated tests and configure them for your customizations.

    Quick start tests are disabled and read-only test templates. By default, they only produce a pass result when you run them with the default demo data that is provided with the application or feature plugin.

    To make quick start tests produce a pass result when you run them with your instance-specific data, copy and configure them to use your instance data.

    Use Performance Profiling to compare tests to detect performance degradation when you upgrade your instance, so you can investigate and fix the issues. See Performance profiling.

    The Agile Development 2.0 (com.snc.sdlc.agile.2.0) and the Agile Development 2.0 - ATF Tests (com.snc.sdlc.agile.2.0.atf) plugins must be enabled.

    Note:
    When running, demo data is required.
