Data Transfer
Moving data and metadata between different storage media types, formats, or computerised systems.
Details
Data transfer needs built-in checks and traceability so that values and meaning do not change through interfaces, middleware, or manual export. Inspections cite truncation, rounding, unit and date format conversion, and transfer failures, retransmissions, and changes that go undetected. Look at the interface specification, verification and reconciliation testing, transfer logs and audit trails, error handling, and change control.
