When Testing in a Full Scale Digital Transformation Nothing is Common
summary
Claim: standard project testing breaks down during full‑scale digital transformation. Program splits into four streams — connectivity, application hosting, workplace, application — moves about 200 servers to the cloud, introduces a managed packaging process and sometimes tests changes in production where connectivity changes go live in hours. Tools include cloud platform "aure" (built but not automatically usable), managed desktop stacks and firewall/config changes. Result: partial success — architecture and governance adjustments make rollout possible but testing approach must adapt per layer and per risk.
