Reporting and Tracking System (VVRTS)
About
VVRTS
The
purpose of the Verification and Validation Reporting and Tracking
System application is to provide system development professionals
with tools to assist in testing (hardware, software and
documentation), problem reporting and tracking. VVRTS is a powerful
and simple to use Web-based tool that assists in:
-
Easily
creating Test Cases, Test Procedures and detailed Test Steps
that are directly associated with Project/Product requirements
and individual product components or features.
-
Tracking
Product Defects and Test Case execution/completion status.
-
Simultaneous
access by "approved" users such as Customers,
Engineers, Project Managers, Marketing, Senior Management, etc.
-
Quick
view of the status of test and defect workflow for each life
cycle stage.
-
Integrating
requirements and test and problem reporting activities for easy
traceability, update, status account and general project
management functions.
-
Easy
and efficient communication, Change Management, Risk Management
and determination of product/project defect Status Accounting
among all project participants without relying on numerous
emails and other forms of communications.
-
Ensuring
compliance to ISO 9001:2000 Standard requirements in all aspects
of system development life cycles.
-
Supporting
multiple Projects/Products, Customers or Accounts, Project
Participants, etc.
VVTRS
allows companies to become compliant to ISO 9001:2000 quicker and
easily prepare for Quality Management Reviews and Independent
External Audits.
The
VVRTS application is a Web-based solution employing J2EE and Java
technology and is designed on a modular basis. Based on experiences,
best practices and international standards, VVRTS has been designed
to integrate all the business objects and accommodate testing,
problems reporting and tracking activities through any stage of the
system development life cycle.

- by typical Project Life Cycle:
Requirements
Phase:
-
Verify
that system and software requirements are
correct, complete, traceable and testable
-
Verify
test plans and Acceptance Entry and Exit Criteria are sufficient
to validate system requirements and operational needs
-
Ensure
testing methods are sufficient to verify and validate software
requirements
-
Verify
that correct software development, management and support
processes are in place
Design
Phase:
Coding
phase:
-
Verify
that test cases trace to and cover system requirements
-
Verify
that test cases, expected results, and evaluation criteria fully
meet testing objectives
-
Analyze
selected unit test plans and results to verify full coverage of
logic paths, range of input conditions, error handling, etc.
