ON THE SPOT COURIER SERVICES CASE PROJECT

In CP1, we identified these five subsystems: 1. Customer account subsystem (such as customer account) 2. Pickup request subsystem (such as sales) 3. Package delivery subsystem (such as order fulfillment) 4. Routing and scheduling subsystem 5. Administration subsystem Now, we decide to develop the five subsystems, assuming on a single two-person team.

Your task for this CP6 is to develop the test, implementation and hosting plan for the subsystems and for the overall project. Your team is tasked to answer the followings:

1. For your test plan: a. Discuss which types of testing (as identified in the Chapter13 or in the supplemental material) you would include and why. b. Discuss which types of testing you would do for a total project test plan and why. What environment (test or production) the testing should be conducted?

2. For your implementation plan: a. How would you characterize your recommendation for the implementation approach: a direct, parallel, or a phased implementation? Support your answer by discussing the logic (advantages and disadvantages) behind your recommendation.

3. For your hosting plan: a. Discuss your current recommendation for hosting the new system. Include the steps to purchase equipment(s) if needed/recommended.
