Pilot testing is MOST important during a project audit to help ensure business objectives are met because:
It involves deploying the system in a limited, controlled environment with actual users before full production.
This helps verify that the system meets business needs and functions as intended in a real-world setting.
It allows identification and correction of issues related to business processes, user acceptance, and performance before a full rollout.
Why not the others?
A. Regression testing
➤ Focuses on ensuring changes do not break existing functionality, but doesn’t directly assess business objectives.
C. Functional testing
➤ Verifies that specific functions work, but may not fully validate alignment with business objectives.
D. System testing
➤ Tests the integrated system as a whole, but pilot testing adds real-world usage context important for business validation.
A pilot test involves deploying the system or solution in a controlled, real-world environment with a limited group of end users. This approach ensures:
The solution meets actual business needs.
Key processes perform as expected under real-world conditions.
User feedback is collected to identify gaps, usability issues, or unexpected behaviors.
Pilot testing directly evaluates whether the system or solution aligns with the organization's business objectives before full deployment, making it crucial for ensuring project success.
Functional testing focuses on verifying that the system or application functions correctly according to the specified requirements and meets the intended business objectives. By conducting functional testing during a project audit, auditors can assess whether the implemented solution aligns with the desired business functionality and capabilities. This type of testing helps ensure that the system meets user requirements, operates as expected, and supports the organization's business goals effectively.
Functional testing involves testing the functionality of the system against the detailed requirements to ensure that the software that has been built is traceable to customer requirements (i.e., Are we building the right product?)
