FIT testing has been finished successfully, SIT testing is expected to run until the end of February, new go-live date will be 20th April 2022
The first phase of joint regional testing (Full Integration Testing - FIT) finished successfully on 13 January 2022. The FIT testing, focused on functionality between all systems involved in the FB MC process, has proven that the given solution is able to perform the FB MC process.
The next phase of the testing (Simulation Integration Testing – SIT) has started on 17th January 2022 and is expected to run until the end of February 2022.
The SIT testing is focused on testing of the joint operational procedures to prove, that the solution is capable of facilitating the daily operational process.
After the test performed in the course of January and the alignment with external parties (SDAC), the project parties can now confirm that the new go-live date will be 20th April 2022 (trading day for delivery on 21st April 2022).
