Running Functional Tests Against Workloads (optional)
Topic Last Modified: 2011-04-06
After verifying that topology information and configuration settings were merged correctly, you should perform some functional tests to verify that the various workloads perform as expected. Run tests for each workload that you are deploying, starting with peer-to-peer sessions and then expanding to meetings of three or more participants. Include remote users and federated users to verify that external access works as expected.
Note
These functional tests are provided as representative examples. Tailor these examples to your organization and test only the workloads that you deployed.
Note
Although you perform these functional tests before the client rollout, you should deploy Microsoft Lync 2010 to a few trial users homed on Microsoft Lync Server 2010 to use in these tests.
The following section describes some example scenarios.
