Testing an upgrade /install

1. Core functionality of the server and related services
2. Validate and test  Foundation elements and supporting data
3. Use User guides to  test  base functionality of each ITSM application
4. Test all  Integration's within ITSM and outside (LDAP, SSO etc)
5, Provide key users access to test  their day to day processes
6. Stress/ Performance testing ( can't tell you how many times this one has
bit me )

Hope this helps a wee bit
