ERP Template - UAT & Performance Test Strategy

UAT & Performance Testing Strategy  DOCX

ERP_Sherpas_UAT_Performance_Test_Strategy.docx

A dual-scope testing strategy document covering both User Acceptance Testing and Performance Testing within a single governance framework, with a four-gate stage-gate model (UAT Entry, Performance Test Entry, Mid-UAT Checkpoint, and Combined Exit). The UAT section covers business ownership principles, scenario design standards, participant requirements, test data, and environment management.

The Performance Testing section covers five test types (baseline, load, stress, endurance, and batch), indicative SLA framework, environment and tooling requirements, and a six-step execution sequence. Combined entry checklists (10 items for UAT, 8 for Performance) and a 13-criterion exit checklist are included, along with a go-live readiness checklist and formal sign-off block.

For a PM, this document provides the critical governance framework that prevents the project from proceeding to go-live on the basis of functional testing alone — without ever validating that the system will perform adequately under real-world operational load.
