Office365

The Evergreen"Office365" testset ensures that standard Office365 products (Word, Excel, etc.) are functional in the IT workplace. Effects of the Microsoft Evergreen philosophy when updating Office365 products are more wide-ranging and diverse than in the usual Windows context. This means that Microsoft is forcing updates at a greater frequency while at the same time not making the consequences transparent.

We therefore recommend a focus on the areas of Office365, Sharepoint and Teams (partly with forced migrations) with continuous regression testing of the workplaces. In particular, company-specific policies, permissions and security specifications should be checked for error-free functioning.

Dedicated test cases cover the following, for example:

  • Testing the basic functionality of Microsoft Word, e.g.: launching the application; creating, editing, saving a document; closing the application
  • Testing the communication function of Outlook, Skype for Business, Teams
  • Testing of the basic functionality of PowerPoint, Sharepoint, etc.
  • Differentiation of the tests to Office installed on the workplace vs. O365 as a purely online variant
