• The Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee (OPGT) requires a Senior Software Developer – ETL to validate the data migration from the existing OPGT legacy applications to the new Dynamics 365 OPGT solution.
  

Assignment Deliverables:

As a member of the data migration team, you will be responsible for validating the quality of the data migration from the legacy application to Dynamics, in preparation for go-live. A high-level list of deliverables follows:

• Data Analysis: analyze the existing data in the legacy applications, understand its structure, quality, and relationships.
  
• Data Mapping and Transformation: read the existing data migration code to understand the mapping of the data elements from the legacy application to the corresponding entities and fields in Dynamics 365 CE
  
• Data Testing and Quality Assurance: conduct thorough testing to verify the accuracy and integrity of the migrated data; define test cases, perform data reconciliation, and address any issues or discrepancies that arise during the testing phase; develop KPIs to report on the progress, completeness, and quality of the data migration effort.
  
• Data Migration Test Plans: Develop comprehensive test plans outlining the testing approach, scope, objectives, and the resources required for data migration quality assurance.
  
• Data Migration Test Cases: Create detailed test cases and test scripts covering all aspects of data migration, including data extraction, transformation, loading, and validation.
  
• Data Fix Development: Modify data migration code to address data migration issues.
  
• Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation of test cases, test results, and any modifications made to the test plan during the project.
