Develop Testing Procedures

As with any piece of software (vendor or in-house developed), initial testing and testing after revision are important tasks in ensuring that the software is functioning as required. It is important to develop test plans for CA Top Secret that you can use throughout implementation and whenever CA Top Secret maintenance is applied. It is also a good idea to test the significant interfaces whenever vendor maintenance is applied.

It is relatively easy to test CA Top Secret performance. The important thing to remember about CA Top Secret is that all accesses to a particular RESOURCE are handled in the same manner. All checks are done out of the access control interface that is part of the VM operating system.
