The PDS Test Plan will describe the overall testing strategy for the Testing Organization. The Test Plan will be used to understand and validate the test data that hasbeen received. Note: Any question marked with an asterisk (*) is a mandatory field and must be completely answered upon submission.
Test Dataset Requirements: Test data must be based on production data. Any deviations from production data must be documented in table 1 below and approved prior to testing with Ginnie Mae. Within table 1, mandatory fields and any special instructions are noted. All mandatory fields must match the production reporting period being tested. If there are any changes to the production dataset being used for testing, Testing Organizations must document the constraint/alterations in table 1 under the column Constraints/Alterations. This would include any obfuscation such as rounding, truncating, or other such transformations that would change or mask the actual production data. The Testing Organization may submit an entire portfolio of test data according to Appendix VI-22, or at a minimum enough pools and related loans that reasonably represent a populus of loans that include the new PDS reporting data.
