Day 371 - Tests Needed

The massive data migration performed over the weekend was positive.
We got some errors, some due to dependencies and but nothing critical nor that we were not expecting.

One positive result from this weekend action was a request from the management team. They loved the counts so much that they want us to identify some data tests that should be performed.
We've identified almost 100 simple data tests, most of them queries, that should be performed over the source data, the migrated data and the loaded data to check if there were no records lost nor information mismatch.
They should finalize the document with identical tests related with the business itself.
And it looks like the testing team will start gathering and testing again this week.
Still, we are worried with the tests and the testing plan because the tests are totally ad hoc and there is no testing plan whatsoever.
