Account and Data Transfer Process
- Context-free validation tools are created from IGAMT-2 Implementation guides
- Context-based validation tools are created from TCAMT Test Plans
- Users push IGAMT-2 and TCAMT tool artifacts to create the tools in GVT
- Re-establish IGAMT-2 account (via consent form)
- Re-establish TCAMT account, if applicable (via consent form)
- Re-establish GVT account (User Action: Login and record account information beforehand)
- Create tool scope and Re-push IGAMT-2 Implementation Guides and TCAMT Test Plans as needed
- Request help if needed
- Download Test Plans (resource bundle) from TCAMT, and upload into GVT
- Source IG and Test Plan is lost if IGAMT and TCAMT accounts are not re-established
