New York, NY - Celerity is pleased to announce they have won a two-phased Statement of Work (SOW) with a major health care client. The SOW entails assessment and project management for the client’s business testing activities across its strategic technology platform that is being developed to radically change the manner in which the client provides and manages health care for patients, doctors and corporate clients. The opportunity arose due to the long standing relationship that EJ Winn, Service Delivery Director New York, and Maureen Carroll, Account Executive in the Hartford office, have with the client manager.
The project has many aspects to consider including the need to perform a quick assessment, prioritize an action plan to document test cases, content and scenarios and to execute the test strategy to support the project. It is a unique fit for Celerity consultants that will allow them to leverage our test management framework through performing the assessment and creating an execution strategy.
In the first phase, Celerity consultants will analyze the current business operating environment and create a business test strategy that will conduct extensive testing of the application. Celerity will partner with the business user team to align test scenarios with business processes and recommended a governance model to manage scenario and content development. Additionally, Celerity will support the business in defining and executing the business test plan. During the second phase, our consultants will focus on the execution of the business test strategy. This includes the execution of the test activities to provide the desired functional testing needs of the business scenarios and content as well as a change management strategy to address the quality review procedures and identification and remediation of defects. Celerity’s approach to this engagement will insure that there is proper alignment between the business and IT test plans and the execution of all test activity.
