Section 2.0 - Software Developer Product Testing Process
2.1 NM TRD will conduct tests using IRS publication 1346 Generic Record format and
Pattern Acceptance Test Scenarios based on the NACTP (PATS).
2.2 Overview of the Registration process to enroll in PATS testing for NM:
1 Software developer contact emails FEDSTATE coordinator the following:
• Copy of approved IRS E-file letter of acceptance
• List of software developer products to be tested (professional, pc,
web)
2 NM State FEDSTATE coordinator assigns:
• NACTP software developer (vendor) code and
• Product code i.e. 01, 02, 03 to each software product
3 NM State FEDSTATE coordinator emails to software developer contact:
• The associated 400-00-XX## TEST SSN for each product enrolled
in the testing process.
2.3 Thereafter for all testing and production p rocessing the software developer must
include assigned software developer (vendor) product code in generic record field
[300a] “software developer (vendor) code – product code”. This is a required field in
the generic record e.g. 12345-01 and/or 12345-02 and/or 12345-03 etc.
2.4 PATS Testing and Approval Process:
• First level of testing is the NMPATS scenarios.
• Second level of testing is by backend processing system used by NM TRD.
Approval of software product is conditional upon passing of both levels of tests using
one complete set of error-free test returns. One complete set means that all returns
in the PATS testing scenario are sent at the same time.
Software Developers must use the Test SSNs assigned by the Test Coordinator in the
tests and specify the software developer code assigned in field [300a] of the generic
record.
FEDSTATE coordinator will email the registered software developer contact of status
and/or results of the test returns.
