Validating Imported Elements
Using The Deployment Archive Import Tool
You should confirm the imported elements, especially if you ignored some elements on
the import.
Another case for validation is when you are not sure if the export process ignored reported
errors. See the example of error handling during export in Step a on page 46.
A good technique to resolve missing elements is to initiate an export from the target
domain of the elements that have dependencies to see if they indicate that any of their
dependent elements are missing.
Validation, however, is not a substitute for a test plan that exercises the features of the new
and revised (or impacted) services together with a delineation of the expected results of
each set of test parameters and actions. You can build your plan and any associated
services or test applications and store them in SonicFS so they can travel in a deployment
archive. You can create an additional project folder for test plans as they are relevant in
both development and deployment domains.
