Sample Projects: Large Multinational Placement Agency

• The project surrounded a set of intranet-based software applications that were designed to interface with a variety of company data sources-some of these data sources and the applications that drive them were developed from the ground-up specifically for this client, while others were off-the-shelf solutions requiring some new interface development.

• The ability for data to flow from one application to another without danger of corruption was critical to the success of the project; iBeta's test plans captured this data flow and designed specific tests to make sure that data was not compromised.

• The sheer number of different user-types involved in this project required an extensive permissions testing to ensure proper isolation of available data and features.

• This project required that stress-testing be performed so that the same level of accuracy experienced in light-duty tests were also observed in large-scale tests that stressed the system; iBeta used automated testing tools (Mercury Interactive LoadRunner) to verify these results.

• iBeta employed Mercury Interactive Topaz (an internet-based automated monitoring tool) in support of this development and system configuration; 24/7/365 uptime monitoring was performed.

• One of the primary risks associated with this project was the potential of lost data during the cut-over to the new systems. iBeta performed extensive testing both prior to and after the transfer to verify proper data transfer.

As this project dealt with the conversation of an existing system to one that was to be used in another country, much of the QA testing surrounded data field testing. Data fields were adjusted and nomenclature changed in a variety of areas to ensure local compatibility; these changes needed specific testing and evaluation prior to launch.
