After successfully building the new IT enterprise architecture, it's time to test it. Testing proves that the hard work the user and his team has put in really works. By stressing the new architecture, one will know where its weaknesses are and how well it will serve the enterprise. Now that one has built the enterprise architecture, one must test it. New technology, especially technology that's on the bleeding edge, will have some kinks to work out. Testing the Information Technology (IT) architecture is all-inclusive. Testing should include the hardware, applications, and the people responsible for those systems. Testing is a great way to break things and get paid for it. While no one ever wants their IT systems to break, odds are that they will.
