Project Briefs
Company Background:
A global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improve human health. A company rich in oncology research, medications to treat central nervous system disorders, cancer, pain and addiction. The company is dedicated to their patients, healthcare professionals, employees and communities.
Problem:
They were seeking a solution to automate and thereby increase the efficiency, speed, intelligence and accuracy of processing multiple external and internal data feeds (IVRS, XML, EDC, etc.) to their clinical trial management system (CTMS). The current state required them to process each data feed separately and as they came available. Their current process was labor intensive and extremely inefficient. They came to RealityCorp for a solution that would increase the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of their current QA and testing process. Having limited resources and time, they wanted the solution to minimize their resource effort in QA, system testing and user acceptance testing.
Solution:
RealityCorp implemented our QA and software-testing-software solution (TAME). The work was conducted mostly by utilizing our testing lab in Wilmington, DE. Results: The application went into production with zero defects. When test execution needed to be performed again during system development, the automated test execution reruns were completed in 1/20th the time when compared to doing the same work manually. User acceptance testing was completed in 1/10th the time. The cost and time savings on this project that were delivered by RealityCorp were significant. The TAME QA/Testing platform is currently being used to handle all subsequent releases and upgrades of this application. Software-Testing-Software (TAME)

Company Background:
For the same biopharmaceutical company:
Problem:
They were looking for a way to improve their cost tracking and payments for companies that were providing services to support their clinical trials. They were again under cost and time constraints.
Solution:
They intended to leverage the previous benefits and value that was delivered by RealityCorp on our previous work. RealityCorp would use our TAME software-testing-software and QA solution to handle the QA and testing functions and deliverables. The work was conducted mostly by utilizing our testing lab in Wilmington, DE. Results: The application went into production with zero defects. When test execution needed to be performed again during system development, the automated test execution reruns were completed in 1/20th the time when compared to doing the same work manually. User acceptance testing was completed in 1/10th the time. The TAME QA/Testing platform is currently being used to handle all subsequent releases and upgrades of this application.

Company Background:
Company provides fully web-integrated Interactive Voice Response Systems (IVRS) and a portfolio of web-enabled technology solutions to streamline clinical trial management. Their IVRS and web-based tools dramatically reduce inefficiencies in a typical clinical trial, resulting in substantial cost savings, increased data integrity, and faster time to database lock.
Problem:
Key to the clinical trial IVR business is the time needed to collect the new trial specifications to when the IVRS can intake and process the first trial participant. The speed, accuracy and quality of the trial software are essential. For the company to continue to enhance their market share and service to their clients, they were looking at technology solutions that would enable them to increase the efficiency and productivity of their SDLC.
Solution:
RealityCorp implemented our QA and software-testing-software solution (TAME) solution. The work was conducted mostly by utilizing our testing lab in Wilmington, DE. Results: During development, the automation suite was efficiently used to populate the IVR system with screened and randomized participants that would then be utilized in subsequent testing. The time savings achieved over a manual effort was significant. Functional automation test workflows were developed according to their risked based methodology. The efficiency, accuracy and coverage of the automation workflows enabled the client to have the ability to allocate their staff to concentrate on high-risk areas to ensure that the application was performing correctly. The RealityCorp’s TAME solution has become essential part of the clients SDLC for testing and producing the required QA documentation. Software-Testing-Software (TAME)

Company Background:
Company is a specialty pharmaceutical company with an established leadership in pain management. Their business is to continue to develop leadership programs to primarily treat and manage pain. They are also expanding their presence in complementary areas. Their IT platform is based on SAP. As part of their SAP package upgrade project they came to RealityCorp to see if we could help them with the testing of several of SAP modules (FI, MM, SD) using our TAME test automation solution.
Problem:
They were under significant time and resource constraints to fully test the SAP upgrade to ensure that exiting functionality was not impacted.
Solution:
The client wanted to see if test automation could be used on the project to reduce the time and resource commitment. RealityCorp implemented our QA and software-testing-software solution (TAME) solution. The work was conducted mostly by utilizing our testing lab in Wilmington, DE. Results: The test automation approach proved to be effective in enabling automated scripts to be developed and executed in a timely basis. Additionally, test automation was used to create and load further customer profiles in the SAP system that in turn would be used in automation and UAT.
