Phase 3: Conduct Acceptance Testing
Individual organizations will have their own acceptance testing mechanisms for their OpenROAD applications. Apply these to the upgraded environment.
Important! It is critical that you perform the pre-testing described in
Build and Test the Application Under 3.5—“Any problems encountered must be corrected or documented as being outside the scope of the upgrade before you continue”—
before doing the upgrade, so that you can isolate genuine upgrade issues and investigate them.
You may need to further specify testing for transparency and color issues. If, during the issue identification process, you recorded a variety of instances where FP_CLEAR or color settings were causing visual discrepancies in OpenROAD 5.1, you can use these for the acceptance testing. PropertyChanger tool output includes a list of all named fields in all frames corrected, and you can use this for such a record. For more information, see
Incorrect FP_CLEAR Field Setting.
