Testing

Unsuccessful system test scripts

Unable to proceed with testing 3 until test scripts are revised

Failure to gather correct testing requirements during Test 5 Planning Phase.

Deployment

Deployment from test environment to production unsuccessful

Time needed to troubleshoot and resolve issues

Incomplete / inaccurate test plan
