Explain pilot testing...

Answer / mudaseer

Pilot testing is verifying a component of the system or the
entire system under real time operating conditions. Using a
real time environment helps to locate bugs in the system at an
earlier time since the later a bug is found, the more costly
it can be. Pilot testing often involves
allowing a group of users access the system and implementing
their feedback before it is
completed and deployed to the public.

For larger projects, a formal, carefully planned pilot is essential.

For any size project, its good to have selected end users test the system prior to full deployment.


The following are items to include in planning a pilot test:

1. Adequate training for participants.

2. A roll out plan for deploying the servers and preparing systems for the pilot.

3. Documentation of the installation process so you can improve it as more is learned.

4. A mechanism, such as a Web site or e-mail alias, for users to provide constant feedback to the design and testing teams.

5. Evaluation criteria for the pilot, including information about the number of users who were dissatisfied, the number of problems reported, the number of support calls and requests, and the resolution rate for problems.
