Integration test for the further development and optimization of an inventory procedure
Project duration: 2 months
Brief description
The customer, an internationally active German food discounter, further develops the daily inventory procedure used and also introduces an optimization model for dynamic article prioritization. The PTA supports the customer in quality assurance for the cross-system verification of business processes and the associated data transfer and takes over operational test management.
Supplement
The optimization model is supplied with data from a total of eight different inventory systems via interfaces. After optimization, the data is transferred to a central database from which the individual branches can retrieve market-specific inventory data. As part of the project, a system integration test is to be planned and carried out, which starts in the inventory systems and ends with the correct transfer to the central database. The PTA creates a test concept and takes over the operative test management for the execution of the end-to-end test cases. To create the test scenarios, workshops are held together with those responsible for the previous systems and the optimization model. The focus of these test scenarios is the correct data transfer of the previous systems to the optimization model as well as the correct consideration of all transferred configuration parameters within the optimization. The documentation is done in the test tool SpiraTeam.
Subject description
The further development and the newly introduced optimization model for dynamic article prioritization should optimize the existing daily inventory procedure and minimize the inventory effort. Depending on market-specific configuration parameters and market classifications based on available inventory results, the model specifies to the individual discounters which articles are to be counted by the respective discounters for the daily inventory.
