Change migration: processes for ensuring successful deployment of design changes

Abstract:

A method for ensuring successful deployment of a plurality of design changes from development to user acceptance testing. The method may include exporting a development file from development to user acceptance testing, generating, based on the exporting, a plurality of skip files as an aggregated Extensible Markup Language export (XML-export) script, and opening, using an Extensible Markup Language table (XML-table) utility in Excel.TM. (Windows, Mac), the aggregated XML export script. The method may also include creating an aggregated XML schema based on the aggregated XML export script, retrieving a first code from the aggregated schema that identifies the action to which a member of the aggregated schema pertains, and retrieving a second code from the member of the aggregated schema that identifies a Rational Security Assessment Manager Identifier (RSAM ID) to which the member of the aggregated schema pertains. The method may use the first and second codes to determine an event handler name to which the member of the aggregated schema pertains.
