Post Assessment

Post Assessment & Acceptance Report Overview

The Tranzman Appliance provides a comprehensive Post Assessment to validate migration success.
There are two elements to the Post Assessment: Observational Tests and Automated Tests.
Tranzman generates a downloadable report and an archive (evidence.zip) containing all automated test data.

Post Assessment Elements

• 10 Observational Tests: User selects each test as Passed, Failed, or NA (not applicable).
