Dinner at last

Last Monday March 15th we had dinner with the team at the Indian restaurant Sagar Royal in Amstelveen. Also some colleagues that worked on the project last year joined us. The food was very tastefull and the conversations with former participants were interesting.

At this moment the functional designs and the software implementation are almost ready. The testers are busy with their test activities. Also the user manual and the training material are written. On April 3rd a trainer and a software developer will fly to India.

Next Monday March 22th there will be a video conference with India. During this session 3 members of MV Foundation will get a demonstration of the latest CMS version. We hope it meets their expectations!

Under construction!

Today, March 9th, we extended the team with two testers in Bangalore, a developer in Bangalore and two testers in the Netherlands. Here in the Netherlands we see each other at least once a week, and I have noticed that we developed a team-spirit within a few weeks. It is very special to notice that the cooperation with our colleagues abroad has the same intention!

It took a little time to get to know the system and to determine what exactly has to be done. For me, as a tester, I have to wait until Functional Design and System Development deliver. We have already tested the bugs that were found in the training session in India last year and a lot of it is solved. In the meantime, I feel like a project secretary doing the test management, a part of the planning, arranging a defect management tool, and arranging a conference call with people of the MVFoundation.

Next week the first new version of the CMS will be delivered. Last week the first Functional Design was delivered! This week there is more to come. In the meantime, our colleagues in India are progressing on a large db to do the load test. In other words; the project is at full speed!
