Learning aim C: Manage and review a cloud-based collaboration service to meet a client’s needs C1 Testing and maintaining cloud-based collaboration solutions The use of appropriate testing methodologies to ensure cloud-based collaboration
solutions meet their identified requirements.
•
Different types of testing, e.g. functional, user, performance, and stress
and security.
•
Selecting suitable test users.
•
Gathering feedback from users.
•
Producing appropriate test documentation.
•
Making use of testing outcomes.
•
Continued maintenance.
C2 Reviewing and refining cloud-based collaboration solutions Monitoring performance of cloud-based solutions and making updates and changes
as needed:
•
security issues and updates, e.g. applying patches, responding to
threats/breaches
•
software updates, e.g. upgrading operating systems/application software
•
compatibility issues, e.g. access by different operating systems, browser/plug-in
compatibility
•
changing user requirements, e.g. diversification of service, adding additional
functionality to cloud service
•
hardware developments, e.g. support for different interface/input methods.
C3 Lessons learned from developing cloud-based collaboration solutions The process of evaluating the effectiveness of the solutions that have been developed,
with reference to:
•
how far the solution met the identified client’s requirements
•
efficiency of the solution
•
ease of use
•
issues arising during testing and maintenance
•
stability
•
potential update schedule
•
how the implemented solutions could be improved to better meet the needs of
the user and fulfil the identified needs
•
alternative solutions that could be implemented if the task was to be repeated.
