- Test: local testing of the solution using TKW Autotest Manager, executing the positive and negative tests against the client under test. The tool will auto-generate the test evidence for submission to NHS Digital, which will allow access into a path-to-live environment (INT)
- Test: integration positive test (only) against the path-to-live environment. This stage pipe-cleans the deployment process e.g. ensure that firewall configurations are understood.
