Seeking SAS 9 Deployment Tester Feedback

[BarbaraD_SAS]

The SAS 9 team is looking at ways to improve the deployment and migration experience when moving to a newer version of SAS 9.  One of the projects we are looking at is the usage of Deployment Tester, including SAS Installation Qualification Tool (SAS IQ) and SAS Operational Qualification Tool (SAS OQ),  to validate deployments are functioning as expected.  If you use Deployment Tester, we'd love to hear about your process and any challenges you've encountered with the tool.  Any information is valuable, do you run it as is or have you added any tests for the Deployment Tester to run?   What kind of things are you validating or expecting the tool to validate?

Please take a moment to share your thoughts by responding to this post, or to me if that's more comfortable, by May 24th.  Your experiences, suggestions, and observations are incredibly valuable to us.  We appreciate you taking the time to share this information with us.

Thank you for being part of our journey towards continuous improvement of the SAS 9 products!
