Week 10 - The Content Management Light at the End of the Tunnel

This week, we are slated to finish our last, third stage of testing. Already we have gone through the development and stage environments. We are now moving into the final test phase called the production environment. As you can see from my previous blogs, it’s been a long road to get here. Years in the making. Two previous systems have already came and gone; however, it seems the third time is a charm -- working with Flatirons has gone fairly well (for the most part) and now we are in the home stretch. Testing today will comprise working through several different workflows for a few different deliverable (sales material, technical material, field material, and updates). The workflows for each have corresponding test scripts (steps) written out in fine detail on an Excel spreadsheet. As we move through each step of the workflow we mark the respective script as either a pass or fail. Those steps that have failed us as of late have mainly been due to permission and preference settings in Webtop. Those were all hammered out in the last two environments and so we should be all set.

Update: I just got handed a new copy of Adobe, Acrobat 9. I will have to install this today and run it side by side with the CMS, since some preferences in Webtop require that we select a commenting program to work from. (When reviewing topics and and maps we have to use Adobe to comment and make suggestions for the writer of the topic or map -- see prev. entry).
