The activities in detail: Designing and introducing a wiki for exchanging knowledge in the team; checking and adjusting AVS scripts; developing a regression test tool in Java and Eclipse; setting up regression tests on the basis of the data pool on which Endur is based; regular execution of regression tests until all the deviations have disappeared or been approved by the specialist departments; coordination with the specialist departments regarding deviations or approvals; supporting users in parallel operations; in general: support and operation.
Subject description
In addition to operating Endur and supervising users, the main focus is on upgrading from Endur version 5.3 (support for which is being phased out) to version 7. One task here is to initiate improved knowledge exchange within the team. Another task is to ensure that no front, middle or back office processes are negatively affected by the version upgrade. As multiple deliveries of the software are expected in the course of the project, as many tests as possible should be automated (and be repeatable). The focus here is on systematic mass regression tests for all the relevant key figures in all the relevant transactions.
