Challenges

Due to a high interest from customers and intensive development of MAPS Defence Suite, MAPS  Health  Suite  and  MAPS  Maritime  Suite, a need to thoroughly check their functionality emerged in Manpower Software. Since the company did care for the highest quality of testing, it was decided to engage JCommerce specialists to perform a number of functional and regressive testing of the systems. 

Tests

First of all, each of the systems in question was functionally tested with the use of a black box method which is based on testing scripts elaborated and provided by the customer. Subsequently, after bugs were fixed and changes were implemented, the JCommerce testing team performed multiple regressive tests. In the course of these tests, newly added functionalities were verified and it was checked if, by chance, they did not have an adverse effect on the existing ones. Each stage was completed with a detailed report on the executed works.

Business benefits

Systems’ quality improvement
External JCommerce testers, not being the permanent part of Manpower Software project team, perceived the tested systems defects much more objectively. They did not participate in creating the systems from the very beginning and that is why they were able to detect the emergent faults more accurately and precisely. The accomplishment of detailed testing by JCommerce, as well as the implementation of the indicated changes, consequently enabled to improve the quality of the systems: MAPS Defence Suite, MAPS Health Suite and MAPS Maritime Suite.

Additional control
Tests performed by JCommerce employees functioned also as an additional control over the introduced changes implementation and the applications’ development. 

Time and financial savings
Thanks to engaging JCommerce to accomplish the testing, Manpower Software gained access to
a thoroughly selected expert group, not having to incur costs bound with HR, salaries and structural change.
