Cognos Test Cases

Purpose:

Test that reports, cubes, event studio objects, schedules, emails, and auditing all function correctly. Verify that modifications to the end user experience are minimal and that the changes that developers will see are moderate. Verify that the data, speed and presentation for each report is the same in 8.2 and 8.3 or better and document any differences (good or bad) using the same prompt values to run the report or object in 8.2 and 8.3 to verify the results are the same. If there is a problem in either environment, document it. Test as many different packages as possible.
