What are the four common conversion strategies?
|
They are abrupt cut-over, parallel conversion, location conversion and staged conversion
|
|
What are some potential problems of using abrupt cut-over as a conversion strategy?
|
The problem is that there may still be major problems that won’t be uncovered until the system has been in operation for at least one business period.
|
|
What are some potential problems of using parallel conversion as a conversion strategy?
|
The problem is that the cost of running two systems over some period must be incurred. This could cause unreasonable demand on computing resources.
|
|
What is the difference between alpha testing and beta testing?
|
The difference is that beta testing runs the system in a live environment using real data while alpha testing runs the system in a simulated environment using simulated data.
