Based on the recommendations of the Technology Advisory Committee (TAC), MIIs are hereby directed to ensure the following requirements while establishing the testing framework of their IT systems/applications: - a) All MIIs should do extensive testing, validation and documentation whenever new systems/ applications or changes to existing systems/applications are introduced before the deployment in production/live e....

After fixing the defects found during the testing, all MIIs shall perform regression testing again to ensure that other existing functionalities are not affected during fixing the defects. All MIIs shall explore to capture the automated test cases so that regression testing can be perfo....
