ERP Template - System Integration Test Strategy (SIT)

System Integration Testing Strategy  DOCX

ERP_Sherpas_SIT_Test_Strategy.docx

A complete, ERP-agnostic System Integration Testing strategy document covering test scope, risk-based test approach, six test types (end-to-end process, integration, data migration, interface, regression, and negative path testing), test case design standards, test data strategy, a three-gate stage-gate governance model with formal entry and exit criteria, RACI, environment requirements, defect severity model, defect triage process, seven key reporting metrics, SIT risk register, and formal sign-off block. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is used throughout as a practical example.

For a PM, the test strategy is the governance document that protects the project from reaching UAT with unresolved critical defects — and from reaching go-live with an untested system. Having a professionally written, stage-gated strategy in place is also the primary defence against a client who wants to compress testing timelines under schedule pressure.
