Activity Hub Enhancement Process, UAT and Release Notes

New Data Source for Activity Hubs

Moved to Adding New Data for Blending in Cognos or Tableau

Monthly Enhancement Process

Customer submits an enhancement request to busintel@ucsd.edu.
BIA and the SME group schedules which enhancements to include in the monthly release based on priority and level of effort, grouped by view.
BIA makes the enhancements to the EAH views, Tableau and Cognos.
1. BIA completes data validation
BIA releases the enhancements into User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for 1 week of customer testing. After which UAT deletes the UAT items as they are no longer needed.
Finding no issues after 1 week, BIA releases the enhancements to Production.

Monthly User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

UAT is a time for report developers to complete their own testing scenarios against any enhancements being release. During UAT field names, folder names and aggregations may change quickly and break reports (AH Changes That Break Report or Column Group Connections).

Reports using data in UAT should not be shared with customers.
