automated testing tools, whenever applicable. Includes: configuring products features,
developing code, conducting peer reviews and providing summary progress of the
development effort; establishing and maintaining the integrity of baseline configuration,
software version descriptions and related documentation; establishing test and verificationprocedures to ensure system integrity so that the system meets functional requirements; and, conducting unit, system and integration testing to validate the system's capabilities. Also includes Performance Testing to verify that the system meets specific response time
requirements, User Acceptance and Certification Testing to verify that target user groups
