morning by 9:00 a.m. Each test release shall include a test item transmittal report. The test item transmittal report will describe the results of the automated build and smoke test associated with the release.

Testing will commence on Monday morning once the new weekly release is installed.Should the test team not receive a test release, or if the smoke test results are negative, or if the release will not install, or should the release arrive without a transmittal report, the test manager shall immediately contact the configuration management team manager. If the problem is not resolved within one hour, the test manager shall notify the project manager and continue testing against the previous week’s release, if possible. If the test release fails installation, addition-ally the test analyst who attempted the installation shall file an incident report.
