Public Access to Legislation Project

Project update, August 2007

The first phase of UAT has been completed. Legacy data has been loaded, and the second phase of UAT (regression testing) is well underway. In parallel with UAT, Unisys is performing failover testing on the production system.

At the completion of UAT, data will be loaded into the production system and the conversion of work in progress will begin.

When the PAL system is ready for implementation, it will be introduced and the old system phased out over a transition period of three months, rather than cutting over to the new system on a specific date.

The interim legislation website provided by Brookers will initially continue to operate, while data loaded at the completion of UAT is being updated with legislation enacted or made since the load. The new legislation website will become available to the public at some point during transition, when the data is up to date. This is now expected to be in late 2007.
