What approach will DFAIT take with user testing of the EICS?
The EICS testing approach will consist of 4 steps for the EDI and 3 steps for the WEB. Step 1 (EDI and WEB) : Establish connectivity to test environment through reception of e-mail with attachment from the user’s gateway. Step 2 (EDI only) : XML transaction testing of file sent unencrypted to test environment. Step 3 (EDI and WEB): Encrypted file sent to test environment using PKI test certificate. Step 4 (EDI and WEB) : Access signoff.
