RE: UPDATE: 2021 UCPath Upgrade Project - UAT Testing & Cutover
Hello UCSB UCPath Transactors,
In July, the UCSB UCPath Project Team announced the 2021 UCPath Upgrade Project. For more detailed information on the upgrade, visit the Technology Insider page of the UCSB UCPath Website.
Testing
We are pleased to report that System Integration Testing (SIT) is now complete and the impacts remain minimal. In fact, there are currently only two open, minor defects!
The next phase of testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), is now underway. The goal of this effort is to confirm that any issues encountered to date are now working correctly. This is a smaller testing effort that focuses on business processes, user interface, access, and transactions.
Informational Sessions
The UCSB UCPath Project team will be hosting two Informational Sessions at 10 am PST on Monday, November 1st and 10 am PST on Tuesday, November 2nd. These sessions will contain information on how to prepare for the cutover, details on what changes to expect, important transaction deadlines, and the support transactors will receive after the cutover.
We highly recommend attending one of these info sessions for any UCPath initiator, approver, or stakeholder. The recordings as well as Q&A will be posted on the UCSB UCPath Website.
Questions
Please email Allison Inglett, UCPath Service Delivery Manager at ainglett@ucsb.edu, or Whitney Hamlin, UCPath Organizational Manager at whitneyhamlin@ucsb.edu for questions regarding this project or to provide feedback.
