Change and Impact Analysis Reporting
StackSafe™ Test Center test results are output into reports that can be shown to IT management, company executives, line-of-business managers, auditors and other stakeholders to support change management decisions.
Capabilities
StackSafe Test Center reporting capabilities give IT Operations teams the ability to document and certify their testing work, which can feed directly into compliance, governance and oversight processes. In the past, IT could not say with confidence that a change request or service request was safe. With Test Center, change requests and proposed configurations can be tested in a safe, virtualized environment until they are either deemed safe (certified) or rejected because they will cause a failure or performance hit. Test Center reports include:
- Baseline reports: Present existing information about the current state of the imported infrastructure stack, such as its software inventory, its configuration levels and the state of its baseline components
- Analysis reports: Analyze test results to present status of infrastructure stack readiness, potential problems, relative performance, functional compliance and reliability
- Differences reports: Compare test results, inventories and configurations to identify the impacts that changes will have on the baseline environment
- Certification reports: Enable IT Operations to formally validate testing and analysis results, and to certify readiness to make changes in production
- Role-oriented reports: Present results and data tailored to specific target audiences
