Step 2: Set Up for Functional Testing

To prepare for functional testing, you must create a Test environment that supports controlled testing of your Identity Manager application.

You might want to simulate some aspects of the Production environment, but the primary goal is to verify that the application works as expected. Achieving this goal might require that you load controlled datasets rather than perfectly realistic ones.

Load test data into your database tables that supports execution of the test cases in your test plan. Ideally, the database tables would also contain data similar to the data in your Production environment.
