c. COTS Software Approvals & Testing: <br /> <br />As a result of the nature of a COTS system, the Implementation of the COTS software <br />components will not require the Customer or FASTER to do test plan approvals, requirements <br />documentation approvals, Gap analysis or Gap analysis approvals. <br /> <br /> <br />The Customer may choose to do whatever testing it deems necessary on the COTS software <br />components during the implementation in the Customer’s implementation environment (more <br />below related to environments). Those testing costs will be borne by the Customer and <br />administered by the Customer. FASTER will provide to the Customer any of the 50,000+ test <br />cases which FASTER has already performed during its normal COTS release cycle free of charge <br />to use at the Customer’s expense. <br />d. Data Conversion Testing: <br />If noted in Schedule-A, FASTER will perform data conversion services: If data conversion <br />services are provided, FASTER will perform data validation testing that validates the accuracy of <br />the data FASTER loads into the Customer’s FASTER Web database against the data provided by <br />the customer and confirms the Customer’s data in the FASTER Web database meets the business <br />rules of FASTER. Once FASTER has completed data validation testing internally, FASTER will <br />provide the Customer a Soft Go Live copy of the database that contains the data FASTER loaded. <br />The Customer can then perform whatever due diligence it deems necessary to validate this data in <br />the Customer’s implementation environment. If the Customer chooses it can redundantly perform <br />some or all of the same Data Validation tests cases FASTER performed. FASTER will provide <br />data validation test cases for the Customer to use free of charge. All Customer data testing will be <br />performed by the Customer at the Customer’s expense. Any data defects the Customer finds and <br />reports during its implementation testing that is found to be the result of FASTER’s work will be <br />corrected by FASTER. <br />2. Change Requests <br />a. COTS Add-ons: Change Requests to add COTS add-on components can be done any time up <br />to the time of the installation of the COTS components included in the SOW or after the Go <br />Live and there will only be the added costs which relate to adding those components and any <br />added implementation tasks, such as training. <br />b. Change Requests for Custom Work: The Customer may make a change request(s) for custom <br />work, at any time, in writing and submit to FASTER’s Implementation Project Manager. <br />FASTER will provide the Customer with a written estimate of added costs and/or time delay <br />resulting from the change request(s). It is understood by the parties that change requests that <br />occur after the Customer has approved the Requirements Document may lead to higher cost <br />and time delay due to the fact that FASTER may need to re-write the Requirements <br />Document, re-do the approval process, re-work code or re-test. The Customer will review <br />and modify if needed FASTER’s written response to change request(s) and notify FASTER in <br />writing whether it wants to proceed with the change request(s). <br />3.
