All job descriptions

An exercise to practice

Prepare a site update and check recovery if a check fails.

Work on a copy or demo environment. Define the data used and the expected result before you begin. Keep your decisions and the difficulties encountered in order to be able to explain the process.

  1. Inventory components, owners and dependencies.
  2. Prepare backup, tests and backtrack before the change.
  3. Control important routes after publication.
  4. Record result, incident and next action in the log.

Deliverable and verifications

A change log, regular checks and a recovery procedure.

Another person can resume operation with understandable instructions and controls.

For each check, note the context, the action, the expected result and what has been observed. Distinguish a successful verification from a remaining hypothesis. Another person must be able to understand the deliverable without attending all its manufacture.

Use the Functional Validation Book

Points of vigilance and teamwork

An available backup does not show that a restore is working. The procedure should specify what is restored and how the result will be verified.

Collaboration to explore: Back-end development.

Specify the sharing of responsibilities: who provides the information, who decides, who checks and maintains the result. A good handover retains the constraints and decisions, not just the final file.

Frequently asked questions

Does this exercise prove a professional qualification?

It allows you to show an approach and its limits. It is neither a diploma, nor a certification, nor proof of a production experience.

How to present the work in a portfolio?

Specify that this is an exercise, your role, constraints, decisions and checks. Use test data and media whose rights are established.

How to assess the quality of the deliverable?

Another person can resume operation with understandable instructions and controls. Add the difficulties encountered and what remains to be verified rather than presenting absolute validation.
