System Verification & Deployment Step Description

In this step the system is installed in the operational environment and transferred from the project development team to the organization that will own and operate it. The transfer also includes support equipment, documentation, operator training, and other enabling products that support on-going system operation and maintenance. Acceptance tests are performed as part of this step to confirm that the system performs as intended in the operational environment before control is transferred.

Purpose

The purpose of this step is to perform the final system integration and testing so that the system can be turned over to the agency that has procured it. This step answers the question- was the system built right (i.e. does it meet the requirements)?

Activities

The following activities define this step

System Integration. The subsystems of the previous step are integrated into a complete system.
System Install in Operating Environment. The complete system is installed in its operating environment, so that after testing is completed it can go operational.
Develop System Verification Procedures. Detailed procedures must be written to perform the system verification. These procedures define the exact steps that will be undertaken to verify each system requirement.
Perform System Verification/ Acceptance Testing. In this activity the system verification or acceptance tests are performed. The procuring agency should monitor these tests to ensure that the final product meets the requirements.
