Introduction

Phase A of the Pilot Testing

The ACTS Business Cases and
Scenarios implementation exercise
was the core activity of Phase A of
the Pilot Stage.
Designed to validate the overall
system including procedures,
processes, integration and inter-
operability tests in all ACTS
modules from departure, transit
and destination offices.
Objective of Business Cases and
Scenarios Implementation

Scenarios were developed to reflect the

processes that would be needed to operate
the ACTS system on a live basis.
Ensure the procedures, processes and
exchange of electronic messages as set out
in the ACTS system can be effectively and
efficiently applied from point of departure,
through transit and arriving at a point of
destination in a simulated live situation.
Ensure the successful exchange of
electronic messages, related procedures
and processes as agreed by AMS.
Business Cases and Scenarios
Implemented

A total of 21 scenarios were

developed to test the system.
These Scenarios were combined
into 21 Business Cases to capture
the majority of the possible
variations of the processes and
procedures in the ACTS.
4 weeks starting 14th of November
2016 and ending on 16th December
2016.
 Regional Orchestrator and the ACTS
Implementation Team based in ASEC and
coordinated by National Orchestrators
based in the national capitals of
participating AMS.
Daily Log Reports.
The log report captured the
implementation process and highlighted
any issues arising and weather the
Business Case/s implemented for the day
was completed successfully or otherwise.
 Business Cases and Scenarios
Implemented
These reports were shared with all and
the National Orchestrators and team in
ASEC to record the issues and resolve
any outstanding issues immediately or
after consultation with the relevant
stakeholders.
An outcome of this daily reporting is the
Jira (software to track issues, and bugs
related to software) report created to
capture issues that needed to be
addressed by ACTS Implementation
team.
Outcome

All the Business Cases (BC) and Business

Scenarios (BS) were implemented as
planned. However due some technical
challenges some BCs were not
completed and this has been recorded in
the Jira report to be addressed by
implementation team.
Main Outcomes
Log Report on the Implementation of
Business Cases;
Validation of the processes and procedures;
Identification of bugs in the system;
Identification of process related issues at
national level;
Identification of capacity needs at the
national level
Outcome

Identification of possible network

communication issues;
Addressing administrative issues
including registration of traders and
redesigning of related documents;
Provided an avenue for participating
AMS to familiarize their CA team on the
actual exchange of electronic messages
in the ACTS at the relevant points;
 Provided a platform for the
participating AMS to test their
hardware installed with the ACTS.
Conclusion

The outcome and results of the exercise

will be the basis for immediate issue
resolution, improvements and future long
term enhancements to the ACTS.
These exercises will be continued if there
is a necessity to further validate the
system before the parallel run and the
proposed live rollout at a later stage.
Phase A is completed and set the stage
for Phase B
