Building a testing plan

So far, you have analyzed your current position, planned your migration, and used the ISFACR security migration utility to help build the required RACF® commands. You should now build an inventory and a testing plan of what needs to be tested.

To help create a test plan, you should prepare to answer the following questions:

Table 1. RACF considerations for your test plan
Question Your answer
Which RACF groups are impacted?  
Which RACF user IDs are impacted?  
What access should each of the groups and user IDs have?  

You can then build a matrix to define your testing plan, as shown in the following table.

ISFSPROG SDSF ISFCMD.DSP.INPUT.JES2 READ  
ISFSPROG SDSF ISFCMD.DSP.INPUT.JES3 READ  
ISFSPROG OPERCMDS JES2.CANCEL.STC UPDATE  
ISFSPROG OPERCMDS JES2.CANCEL.TCP UPDATE  
ISFSPROG OPERCMDS JES2.CANCEL.TSU UPDATE  
ISFOPER SDSF ISFCMD.DSP.ACTIVE.JES2 READ  
ISFOPER SDSF ISFCMD.DSP.ACTIVE.JES3 READ  
ISFOPER SDSF ISFCMD.DSP.HELD.JES2 READ  
ISFOPER SDSF ISFCMD.DSP.HELD.JES3 READ  

You can do the same to associate user IDs with RACF groups.
