QA Impact

4.1 Testing Recommendations

Look at the component from the QA point of view. Suggest any special
tests that will stress the component. Think how to make the component
NOT work and what special tests should be performed on this
component. This is a guideline to the QA testing procedures. Suggest
additional function tests that are necessary. Special test requirements,
for example: the security levels, hardware or software configurations,
multi-system issues. Note anything that cannot be tested which might
require field tests.
4.2 Regression Risk Assessment and Backward Compatibility Issues
What would be the implications of failure in the component? Is the code
complex? What is the potential for destabilizing existing functions?
What other areas of the product interact with this module?
How this feature will affect backward compatibility with previous
releases of the product.
4.3 QA Test case Review by development and test case modification
suggestions if any
Put here the test cases provided by QA, and suggestions from
development to these test cases.

5.

Support Impact

What impact this issue might have on Support? Will this relieve some
existing problem in the product?
Detail any diagnostics or trace facilities built in to the component, or
facilities built into other components that would be used to gather
information about what is happening. Note anything that may make the
component difficult to diagnose (for example: no tracing facility), difficult
to service, unreliable (for example: External Risks. List any workarounds.

6.

Documentation Impact

List changes to documentation for this new feature.
