Non-SIT Supplier and Agent Qualification Testing Test Scenarios and Test Cases for Functional
On Monday 19 May 2025, the Code Bodies published updated Non-SIT Supplier & Agent Qualification Testing (QT) Test Scenarios and Test Cases for Functional Batches 1, 2 and 3 for industry consultation.
At a high-level, the updates include descoping some of the Test Cases as part of a rationalisation activity to remove duplication, reduce complexity and align with SIT.
This consultation closed on Friday 30 May 2025.
No feedback or comments were received from participants, which was expected given the changes made were to descope Test Cases.
The Code Bodies provided an update at the Qualification Working Group (QWG) on Tuesday 10 June 2025. Following this, the updated Test Scenarios and Test Cases were tabled for approval at the Qualification Advisory Group (QAG) on Thursday 19 June 2025.

Non-SIT Supplier & Agent QT Test Scenarios and Cases Combined and Partial Reliance Artefacts
The Code Bodies will update the combined list of all Non-SIT Supplier & Agent QT Test Scenarios and Test Cases to incorporate the DIP Test Scenarios and Cases, and reflect recent changes to the Migration and Functional Batches 1-3 Test Scenarios and Cases.
They will also update the example list of Non-SIT Supplier & Agent QT Test Scenarios and Cases for participants placing Partial Reliance to support participants with Partial Reliance arrangements to better understand what the scope of their QT might look like.
Please note that this list will continue to be based on a situation where the functionality of the automated flow management system has already been tested, but the interfaces between the flow management system and the participant’s systems (e.g. CRM/Billing) have not been tested.
