Build and test a change

Part of Workflow(s):

Coordinate change implementation (ST 2.5)

Applies to User Roles:

Change Analyst

After you verify that the change implementation tasks contain complete information and are correctly assigned, you can build and test the scheduled change. All hardware changes, software changes, and new releases must be tested before implementing them in a production environment.

Note It is important to document all infrastructure changes and test results.

To build and test a change, follow these steps:

Click Change Management > Task Queue.
Click Change Task in the Queue list and Open Change Tasks Assigned to My Group in the View list.
Find the change implementation tasks for building and testing the change, and double-click the records to open the selected tasks. If you do not see the change implementation tasks in the record list, you can click Search. Use search or advanced search to find one or more records.
Perform the activities needed to complete the change implementation tasks for building and testing the change.
Update the change task record with the following information:
- Assignment Group
- Affected CI
- Actual Start date
- Actual End date
Document the infrastructure changes or test results. You can use the Work Notes section to document this information or attach the information as a separate file by using the Attachments section.
After the change implementation tasks for building and testing the change are complete, close the change tasks:
1. Click Close Task.
2. Select the Closure Code and type a closure comment.
3. Click Save & Exit. HPE Service Manager sets the task state to Closed.
Notify the scheduled Change Coordinator that change implementation tasks for building and testing the change are complete. The Change Coordinator will then verify that the change meets the test criteria and is authorized to be implemented in the production environment.
