The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Most of the system test are accomplished by using the CWMS system, for example by Using the Meetings Test and Using the System Resource Test.
When testing an upgraded system, you can keep the original system until you have finished testing the upgraded system (but because they share some parameters, such as IP addresses, you cannot power on both systems at the same time). Once you are satisfied with the results of the upgraded system tests, you can remove (forever) the original system. Be sure your upgraded system is running when removing the original system. This prevents accidental removal of the base virtual machine disk (VMDK) file that must be accessed by the upgraded system.
Some of the recommended tests to run on the system are.
Add, edit, activate, and deactivate users. (See Managing Users.)
Schedule and hold a meeting.
Reschedule an existing meeting.
Delete a series of scheduled meetings.
Add and open a meeting attachment from the meeting invitation.
Record a meeting and play back the recording.
The system can also be tested by:
Step 1 | Sign in to Site Administration.
In a Multidata Center system, the DNS determines which data center Dashboard appears. Use this Dashboard to manage all the data centers in this system. |
Step 2 | Turn on Maintenance Mode. See Turning Maintenance Mode On or Off.
If the data center is part of a Multidata Center (MDC) system, in-progress meetings fail over to an active data center. The failover can cause a brief interruption in active meetings. See About Maintenance Mode for information. Turning on Maintenance Mode for all active data centers shuts down all conference functionality. No one can sign in to the WebEx site, schedule meetings, join meetings, or play meeting recordings. |
Step 3 | Select Support > System Resource Test. |
Step 4 | Select
Next.
The results of the test are posted for the following: |
Step 5 | Turn off Maintenance Mode.
When you turn off Maintenance Mode, the system determines whether a restart or a reboot is required, and displays the appropriate message. A restart takes approximated 3 to 5 minutes and a reboot takes approximately 30 minutes. If the data center is part of a Multidata Center (MDC) system, you are redirected to the global admin URL. The DNS resolution policy determines which data center you see. If Key Regeneration is enabled, taking one data center out of Maintenance Mode automatically takes all data centers in the system out of Maintenance Mode. Meeting service on the data center is restored. |
