Dennis Knoetgen, Director

Company:

MatrixOne develops and markets collaborative product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions. They deploy a team of 26 fulltime QA Professionals.

Product:

PMC Central - MatrixOne Program Central is a unified environment for coordinating multiple, large-scale programs to provide globally- distributed collaborative participants with real-time visibility into all project information and status, from both MatrixOne solutions and other systems.

More than forty innovative companies are successfully implementing MatrixOnes’ Program Central.

Challenge:

MatrixOne had just acquired a new product that they had to get ready to ship to their customer base. The normal testing time consumed 3 months of 6 full time QA professionals. They needed a faster and less expensive way to get this product to market.

Concerns:

They were concerned that the project would exceed the budget available.

qaSignature Solution:

  • Created Automated Testing Infrastructure, consisting of the following tests: Installation, Smoke, Functional Regression, and Resource Monitoring.
  • Improved testing turnaround from 3-4 days with 6 people to 12 hours, with no manpower used.
  • Load Testing: identified and pinpointed bottlenecks in the application.
