The proposal and inventory workflows under test.

The challenge

  • Complex proposal and inventory logic meant regressions surfaced late, in front of customers.

The approach

  • Wrote test plans against the real workflows customers use, not against the feature list.
  • Prioritised the paths where a defect costs a customer money.
  • Fed reproducible defect reports back into the release cycle.

The outcome

  • Release testing followed a documented protocol instead of ad-hoc checks.
  • This work is the origin of the QA test plan tool in the Lab.
