It minimizes the risks of defects in the operation of cross-cutting business processes in the system during its interaction with other systems, or during an integration of several subsystems/modules into a united system.

Deliverables

  • 01
    The final report includes the following:
  • Information about the level of functional accuracy of the developed product obtained as a result of integration corresponding to the requirements specified in the documentation
  • Information about the number of defects in the operation of the system’s cross-cutting business processes or modules and their severity
  • A list of defects with a description of the problem and methods for its reproduction
  • 02
    Integration testing methodology (MS Word)
  • 03
    Testing scenarios (MS Word)
  • 04
    Testing requirements (MS Word)
  • 05
    Test data for conducting tests in accordance with the scenarios (MS Word)
  • 06
    Test protocols (format of specialized tool)

The scope of work

  • Analyzing business processes
  • Testing methodology development and coordination with the customer
  • Implementing the test process management system
  • Testing requirements’ development
  • Testing scenarios’ development and preparation of a test data set
  • Testing model coordination with the customer
  • Testing model coordination with the customer
  • Launching the first iteration of manual testing
  • Launching a follow-up iteration after the defects are corrected by the developer
  • Report

Service Quality Criteria

  • The completion of the project within the timeframe specified by the contract with a test environment availability of no less than 95%.
  • The number of bugs and defects in the system after the release has been installed in the production environment.
  • The number of duplicates or incorrectly entered defects in the test process management system.

Tools and licences
