The Client
Our client
is a global company specializing in the development, production, and marketing of generic and proprietary branded pharmaceuticals as well as active pharmaceutical ingredients. Our client is among the top 20 companies and one of the largest generic pharmaceutical companies in the world.
The Challenge
Our client merged with another Pharma manufacturer and needed to verify and test combined systems and operations in the areas of Commercial Contracting and Medicaid Rebate processing into a single system for the combined companies.
The Solution
Our client utilizes the I-many suite of applications for contract management (I-many CARS, I-many Medicaid and I-many Government Pricing) and RentTester is the exclusive provider of Software Quality Assurance resources and is responsible for providing full time, day-to-day, on site and remote test support.
RentTester resources developed testing scripts and processes to merge iMany CARS Customer, Product and Contract data, automated membership loads and general data cleanup across the two companies. As well, we tested the merging of I-many Medicaid systems for Medicaid rebate processing.
- Medicaid Rebate Testing – Validate transfer summary level data from one company’s I-many Medicaid system into our client’s I-many Medicaid system and use only our client’s I-many Medicaid system to manage this function going forward.
- Commercial Contracting Testing – Validate that the project was to test transfer contract, customer, membership, eligibility and historical transaction data from I-many DPS system into our client’s I-many CARS system and use only the I-many CARS system to manage this function going forward.
RentTester performed an analysis of our client’s GPS system examining each requirement in detail. Our team produced a test plan/cases document to serve as the foundation for scope of the implementation phase of the project.
RentTester tested a full implementation of new compliance requirements into the I-many Government Pricing System.
Our deliverable included:
- Test Strategy & Test Plan
