| Year 2000 Test
Considerations |
|
ItÆs important to
take an end-to-end view of Year 2000 testing. There are two
dimensions to the Year 2000. One dimension is represented by the
technical facets of the problem which are fairly straight forward.
The second dimension is the scope one needs to consider which is
quite large.
The Year 2000 Problem
Technical facets:
2 digit storage of dates
Incorrect leap year calculations
Special functions dates e.g. 9/9/99
Business Scope:
Embedded Systems, Hardware, Firmware
Operating Systems, Applications, Custom code
Business Processes, Supply Chain
The
considerations outlined above focus narrowly on applications. ItÆs
imperative to test and verify your entire solution infrastructure.
