Post-migration testing and verification procedures.
Overview
Validation ensures that migrated systems and data are functioning correctly in the new self-hosted environment.
Key Areas to Validate
1. User Access
- Can users log in?
- Are permissions correct?
- Does SSO work if configured?
2. Data Integrity
- Are all files present?
- Do file sizes match?
- Are timestamps preserved?
3. Email Functionality
- Can users send/receive email?
- Are folders and messages intact?
- Do aliases work?
4. Document Search
- Does search return results?
- Are documents accessible?
- Is indexing complete?
Testing Approach
Smoke Testing
Quick tests to verify basic functionality:
- Login test
- Send test email
- Search for known document
- Access key files
User Acceptance Testing
Have actual users verify:
- Their data is present
- Workflows still function
- Performance is acceptable
Load Testing
If applicable:
- Concurrent user access
- Large file transfers
- Search performance
Common Issues
Authentication Problems
- Wrong credentials
- Certificate issues
- Domain configuration
Missing Data
- Incomplete transfers
- Permission errors
- Format incompatibilities
Performance Issues
- Slow searches
- Network bottlenecks
- Resource constraints
