When
you test process versions, use realistic test scenarios that mimic
the environment and use cases that are expected in the staging and
production environment. Realistic scenarios help to reduce issues
found during staging and production testing. It is recommended that
you look at these settings in your development environment:
- Platforms:
- Develop and test on the same platform as the production environment
when possible. For example, prepare and perform your development
testing on the same application server and database that the production environment
will use. You also need to consider using the same Sun Java™ JDK versions.
- Operating system and web browsers:
- Prepare and test on the same operating system when possible.
Also, use the same web browsers to perform your testing and consider
using same the patch levels for both the operating system and web
browser.
- Users, groups, and roles:
- Test with user profiles, group profiles, and roles that have
similar permissions and system privileges as in the production environment.
For many development environments, developers have extended privileges
that a typical user does not have in a production environment. For
this reason, you need to test with similar user profiles and group
profiles as found in the production environment. Configure user
profiles, group profiles, and roles in Administration Console. For
information about configuring users, see User Management Help, accessible
in the Administration Console.
- Location of assets:
- Test with an identical directory or folder structure for
any assets used by the process version you design in your production
environment. Assets include forms, images, fragments, SWF files,
and data files you design. For example, in a production environment,
the form can be located at a URL instead of a specific folder structure
in the repository.
- Acrobat and Adobe Reader:
- It is recommended that you test with the same editions, versions,
and patch levels of Acrobat or Adobe Reader that an end user will
use in the production environment. For example, if you production environment
only uses Adobe Reader, it is recommended that you to use Adobe Reader
for testing.
- Adobe Flash Player:
- It is recommend that you test with the most current supported
version of Flash Player that is used in the production environment.
Note: Some versions of Acrobat, Adobe Reader, and Flash
Player may not be supported in your production environment.
