Senior Systems Tester Oct’07 – June’10

Project: PharmaSoft Applications

The PharmaSoft suite of applications was a home grown EDC (Electronic Data Capturing) system used to record trial patient data in Phase IV studies. The system was developed in Java with Oracle 9i as the backend database. The user interface was created using HTML and JavaScript.

Created and executed test scripts for the core back-end system (Setup) and the following related front-end systems. JIRA was used as the project tracking tool to list system requirements as well as report any system defects.

Setup – This system was designed to provide end users with an easy to use interface for creating database tables, edit checks, derivation, user and group accounts, reports, SQL based user defined queries etc.

FaxSys –This front-end system was designed to accept faxed in patient data which would then be accessed via the WebSys application. Testing included designing form templates using Cardiff Teleform and then transferring the data on the completed forms via the teleform reader into Websys.

LabSys – This application was designed to accept patient laboratory data which was then processed using a set of sql queries which was then accessed by WebSys. Testing involved validating the LabSys application for different lab scenarios, executing sql queries and validating the database tables for the results as well as verifying the results of data processing via WebSys.

As Test Lead, managed the entire testing cycle for two other major projects - Move IT and Out of Scope Tracker.

MoveIT - This was a PharmaSoft data migration and conversion utility used to transfer PharmaSoft Application Suite data between databases. Move IT is a standalone, web-based system backed by database. The client interface is composed entirely of HTML and JavaScript. The data layer is the Oracle server database system.
