When and where should the testing take place?

Topic 1, Relecloud Case

Background

Relecloud is a cloud point of sale (POS) software company specializing in direct to consumer food stands. They have multiple business units using their new Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations implementation including customer-facing representatives for account management, technical support, customer service, and finance. There are two legal entities, one for operations and one for financials. Customers pay for the Relecloud POS software monthly and everything is deployed in the cloud. The Dynamics instance URL is https//relecloud prod operations.dynamics.com.

Munson’s Pickles and Preserves Farm is a company that uses Relecoud’s cloud POS software to sell their produce in farmers markets. Munson’s was one of Relecloud’s first customers, and Relecloud stocks their employee lunchroom with Munson’s products. Munson’s has also been subcontracting their employees to Relecloud to help functionally build a best-in-breed solution. Munson’s employees assume multiple organizational positions. Each employee has only a single email address by which people can contact them.
