Data Migration Testing Strategy
​
Creating the test strategy for data migration includes a set of activities to be executed and some aspects to be considered. This is to reduce the errors and risks that occur as a result of the data migration and to run the testing efficiently.
​
Activities in this Testing
​
Forming the team
​

​
Analysis the risk
​
Current BAU life should not be hampered after migration and hence carry out ‘Risk Analysis’ meetings involving the right stakeholders and identify the risks and the implementable mitigation.
​
Data Migration scope analysis
​
Find the clear scope of the migration test as to when and what needs to be tested.
​
Identify the Test Environment for Migration
​
Identify separate environments for Pre and Post Migration environments to carry out any verification
Migration Test Specification Document and review
​
Prepare Migration Test Specification document which clearly describes the areas of testing, testing methods (manual, automated), Number of cycles of testing, test approach, testing methodology (white box testing technique, black box), the approach of creating data and using live data etc.
​
Test Execution
​
Run the test cases one by one and capture the results.
