This
task transitions
the software
into a production
environment.
Steps
Tune
operating
system.
This
step
is critical;
most
software
require
a degree
of tuning
of the
operating
system
and
database
(see
next
step)
in order
for
them
to achieve
the
expected
performance
levels.

Risks
If
the system does not achieve
expected performance levels,
allow substantially more
time to tune the various
components. It is good
practice to allow sufficient
contingency on this point.
Prerequisites
The
tuning activities
will typically take
place during integration
testing. So the
test cases for the
integration testing
should be needed.
Deliverables
A
set of repeatable specification,
code, integration, and
system tests and their
results.
