Always test your Package before distributing it to customers.   This can be a time consuming task but is essential to ensure a problem free installation.

Test your deployment Package by installing it onto any PC configuration you intend to support. Consider:

  • testing Testing on different operating systems.
  • including Including a PC with your minimum specification.
  • installing Installing in different languages (if required).
  • trying Trying out variations on the SETUP values which are available to be modified during installation.
  • testing Testing variations of the X_START values available when the application is launched.
  • testing Testing with different DBMS types – Sybase ASA and MS SQL Server, as applicable.
  • checking Checking any user authorization that may be required (both for the deployed objects and the deploying environment).
  • testing Testing installation of your Package from the medium or location it will be distributed to customers from (e.g. from a central server location or on CD-ROM).
  • installing Installing on a network client.
