Some customers have expressed a desire to run a detailed set of tests to verify that an installation or upgrade has run correctly in their environment. This document outlines some initial tests that could be performed after a successful BrightWork Install/Upgrade to verify that the Install/Upgrade has ran satisfactorily.
This checklist is designed for users who have experience with SharePoint. Also, some experience with BrightWork is desirable to reduce the need to reference the built-in help when executing the various steps - if you are not familiar with BrightWork you can also use the help to assist you in carrying out the below tasks.
It is a pre-requisite that all the steps in the BrightWork Installation/Upgrade Guide have been run successfully and without error.
It is also expected that you are using a supported IE browser to run the tests.
All items on the checklists should pass.
If any fail please contact support and/or check your SharePoint logs for issues.
