Common use of Execution of Tests Clause in Contracts

Execution of Tests. Execution of tests involves the actual performance of the testing, including both system and integration testing. Supplier shall perform the execution of test Services, which include the following based on the test phase or test plan: (i) Preparing test environment for the test phase; (ii) Defining business test cycles for each test phase (i.e., a logical grouping of test conditions defined with consideration for repeatability and reuse, as well as functional area); (iii) Defining business test scripts for each test phase (i.e., a definition of the steps necessary to perform a given business function test), including identifying additional test scripts associated with the integration of various application group components, which may not have been addressed by the individual teams and as applicable, combining test scripts for projects affecting multiple application groups; (iv) Defining business test environment requirements for each test phase (i.e., a detailed description of the components and configurations needed for the business test environment); (v) Defining system test scripts, including scripts used to test existing interfaces to business applications as well as scripts used to test new interfaces to applications (including as applicable for adaptive development work); (vi) Delivering the test plan, test cases and test scripts to Health Net for review and approval; (vii) Working out the detailed setup regarding coding components and test data to be tested with the test team during design; (viii) Developing necessary test data based on test cases and business scenarios that are in accordance with Health Net’s standard methodologies (e.g., project development) as made available to Supplier, except where Supplier is only responsible for assisting Health Net in performing the testing, in which case Supplier will provide necessary inputs (e.g. information on table, fields, key fields, index fields, views etc.) to the Health Net project team to develop such test data; (ix) Creating and managing all test data and the test data management process. Supplier will condition all test data and cases as needed to fulfill testing all requirements; (x) Adequately conditioning test accounts so that such information may be accessed, as necessary, during the testing process; (xi) Conducting each test phase other than UAT; coordinating and supporting Health Net in Health Net’s UAT efforts; (xii) Leveraging technology to automate scripts to improve quality and throughput of testing; (xiii) Completing test documents and certification for each test phase, including for the quality testing tollgates; (xiv) Conducting a quality audit review (e.g., quality completeness) for each test phase; (xv) Preparing and coordinating fail over testing for hardware, network and Software failures. Supplier will work with appropriate Health Net hardware and network subject matter experts to conduct and validate failure test cases and scripts, reporting on results and recommending modifications as required to insure reliability and performance in accordance with agreed upon specifications. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section shall require Supplier to be responsible for: (A) providing or maintaining hardware or networks, or (B) hardware or network failures, provided that Supplier fulfilled its obligations under this task order and did not cause such failure; (xvi) Where applicable, conducting testing Services, including system testing and stress testing within the test environment; (xvii) Resolving testing issues and validating test results. Supplier will perform root cause analysis on the defects identified in the testing and will implement appropriate measures to eliminate the reoccurrence of defects; (xviii) Providing test results to Health Net for review and approval; (xix) Completing certification review for the testing phase; (xx) Providing an assessment and communicating the overall impact and potential risk to existing Software prior to implementing changes; (xxi) Identifying adjustments to Health Net’s infrastructure as a result of changes to architectural standards, new applications or discovered security vulnerabilities; (xxii) Executing job streams and various test processes required for testing; and (xxiii) Validating data backup and recovery is occurring.
