Current environment
-
• Alpine Ski House currently has an outdated accounting system that is not connected to the New York warehouse.
• The warehouse system contains inventory quantities, but does not have costing, therefore the FIFO principles are applied through spreadsheet calculations at month end.
• Alpine Ski House has worked to create a future state roadmap as a foundation for growth. They have decided to implement Dynamics 365 cloud applications and must limit the amount of on premises hardware as they are not staffed for support. They are expecting to implement required devices for warehouse applications to support WMS only.

• The customer service team provides concierge services to the top 20 largest customers. Each customer service team member is assigned to 5 customers as the customer's dedicated customer service representative.
• The call center has a phone system that records calls and stores the call duration.

• Alpine Ski House must enable business partners to place their own B2B orders on the web as well as manage their own users.
• The company has decided to expand distribution to Banff, Alberta and create a new operating legal entity in Canada. This expansion must be planned for as part of the solution, as it will be up and running six months after the initial US company is operating on the new applications.

Customer Service
-
• The customer service center is overloaded with frequently asked questions (FAQ's) that are consuming resources and creating issues with customer service levels.
• Alpine Ski House has decided to deploy an automated FAQ website because they do not have sufficient staff resources to manage customer interactions. All automated interactions must be stored for 30 days.
• The company has decided to extend its concierge program to the top 25 customers. A new representative has been hired and requires the same screen layout as other team members.
• When new customers are created in the system, the customer number must automatically pass to the call center phone system.
Implementation
-
• The implementation is expected to take 12 months. Alpine Ski House wants to ensure that when they go live, they are on the most current available update of Dynamics 365. Testing must occur in the various stages of the implementation. You identify the following testing requirements:
o Platform updates will be applied, and business processes will be verified to perform as expected, either manual or automated where possible against stored task recordings.
o Development must be completed by the 10th month. Developers must perform initial testing code that they create.
o When development is completed, all processes in the system must be tested by the user group.
• Due to competing demands for the project team, the company wants to automate as much of the testing as possible.
• The project manager is concerned that a critical field must have validation scripts run against it during automated testing. The developers will be required to write the custom validation scrip. The user creating the test script must document the step in the test script that the specific validation script must be run for the developers.
• The project manager wants to put a control in place to ensure that once the automated testing is established the test scripts are not modified or overwritten.
You need to determine the testing types required for implementation activities.
Which testing type should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
