In order to put an updated service live we have a test team who conduct SAT, UAT etc and the desktop support team will create a Rapid Install Package (RIP) for deployment. My question is when is it best to carry out deployment testing?

If the desktop support team createcreates the RIP and then deploydeploys it to the test PCs if it then fails testing then it has wasted their time but if we wait for testing sign off before building the RIP then the testers have to later validate that the deployment works which doubles up on their time.,

  • if it then fails testing then it has wasted their time
  • but if we wait for testing sign off before building the RIP then the testers have to later validate that the deployment works which doubles up on their time.

What is the best approach here to take with deployment testing to minimize people doubling up on work?
