Calculation of diagnostics products – test and documentation
Brief description
Ongoing consulting and support for documentation and testing of a company-internal globally-implemented software for calculation and quotation creation of diagnostics products. The documentation contains the creation and continuation of user manuals and usability guides. Test support combines activities for planning and performing tests.
Supplement
The application consists of client and administrator components and Web services. Manuals for these components represent the functions at a detailed level and facilitate country-specific usage. The manuals are oriented towards the business process. Every sub-scenario contains target, processing steps and results. Interactions are represented with text and graphics. Calculations are explained using examples. The documentation is created in English with MS Word. Checklists and templates for requesters and developers are derived from the usability guide for the admin tool. Functional test cases are derived and specified, tests are performed and described in test reports. For Web services, automatic business tests are created and managed. Testing and documentation are performed in close communication with the functional contact persons.
Subject description
The application is used to calculate the sale of diagnostics products. The user can enter and compare several calculation scenarios. The data from the customer environment is entered for the use of possible diagnostics systems, reagents and other chemicals. This depends on the customer type (e.g. hospital, laboratory, pharmacist), its methodology (e.g. number of layers, work days), the parameter to be determined (e.g. for clinical chemistry or immunology), as well as the number of tests. These details are used to generate the material list that can be edited. The user defines calculation scenarios (e.g. leasing vs. purchase). The application determines prices for materials, tests and findings that the user can overwrite. Every entry leads to a recalculation of the deal profitability that is reflected by the key figures and visualized with traffic lights. The calculation data of the selected scenario are forwarded to downstream systems for offer creation.
