PTA provides support in requirements engineering, in communication with offshore developers, in technical issues and during testing. Quality assurance measures include formulating user stories, the nightly build process, maintaining the test environment and test data and performing tests. Requirements-based tests, integration tests and end-to-end tests are performed. These are implemented by session-based and exploratory testing.
Subject description
The internal, worldwide use of the calculation tool requires decentralized, country-specific administration. Central data, such as products, product configuration, customers, prices and costs are loaded from various source systems via interfaces and can be adjusted manually in the admin tool. The application also enables fine-grained configuration of the calculation process. There are important management modules for financing equipment, managing and bundling materials, pricing, KPIs, the approval workflow, rights management and localization.
