Banner Updates Testing Guide

Body

This is a reminder that no updates or changes will be moved into the PROD environment unless they have been fully tested, verified, and approved in the test instance first.

We ask that each department help with testing in the Student Test Instance by signing in and running any of your usual tasks or anything in particular that you see on the Updates list attached that might affect your department. Please notify your supervisor/ VP that testing has been completed.

  • All updates must be thoroughly tested in the STUDENT instance.
  • Documentation of testing results, including workflow, must be provided.
  • Formal verification from all responsible parties is required before deployment approval.

If these requirements are not met, the update will not be approved to proceed to PROD. This is non-negotiable.

Let’s maintain our standards and protect the integrity of our production environment.
