5.12 Product Deliverables

 < Day Day Up > 



Concurrent with the development of the test plans, an engineering or development team should be focused on creating the product software deliverables. These deliverables include source code, software executables, data conversion scripts, and so on. Many times, software scripts must be written to support a data conversion effort. These data conversion scripts convert data from one internal machine representation to another or validate the content of the fields. They may be used to integrate various data elements originating from several files/databases or to merge different fields that are located in different files/databases. Such scripts are also used to establish relationships or dependencies among different fields currently stored in different files/databases, synchronize several files/databases at the same time, expand or shorten the size of a data element, reorder the records or data elements in a different sequence, or modify the contents of the field. Each of these functions generally saves considerable time and effort when the alternative of manual action is considered. They have become a fairly standard approach to delivering code and are a very important part of the project deliverable.
