Quality Assurance - Portal Application

Business Case:

A leading food company rolled out a state-of-the-art portal application that replaced the existing intranet which suffered from a fractured, illogical, unfriendly user experience. The new Intranet, running on IBM Websphere portal 6.0, required a wide array of tests to be performed under a tight budget and a limited time span.

Solution: 

CapTech provided a strong quality assurance lead to drive and manage the project testing tasks including planning, strategy, design and execution. One of the greatest hurdles for this highly visible and strategic project was the management of a part-time testing population.
