12. Infrastructure (cont’d) User Documentation –Online Help (includes system management, client/server differences and summary of changes) –Guides for Installation, ActiveReports, Automated Tests Technical Documentation –System Design Specification (SDS) and Entity Diagram (ERD)

13. web Trnsport Test Coverage Automated Testing –75,000+ unique acceptance tests –125,000+ total acceptance tests factoring in multiple environment platforms (e.g. DB2, Oracle) –Full suite of tests run for each software build Manual Testing –Ongoing as backlog items are developed –Formally at the end of each month Regression New functionality Installation Interfaces

14. Civil Rights and Labor Management System (CRLMS) TRT participation –Three on-site meetings for user story development, testing, planning –Weekly meetings (TRT, 3 subgroups for user stories, testing) –Monthly testing Extending business functionality –Contractor payrolls and labor compliance –Wage decisions –DBE certification, vendor data, commitments –OJT tracking and monitoring –Subcontractor data and prompt pay tracking –Trucking types and tracking –Interfaces (CAS, PES/LAS, SiteManager)

15. CRLMS Functionality (cont’d) Reports –Create US DOT Quarterly and Semi-Annual DBE Award Commitments Report –Federal 1392 Report (Annual EEO Report) –DBE Directory Report –Report Project Employment Data –Report OJT Employment Information –OJT by Project and Trade Category Report –End of Month Trucking Report

16. Construction/Materials TRTs 3 Onsite Meetings –Members gain knowledge of web Trnsport system –Developing user stories for business requirements –Week of November 10 th, fourth meeting Weekly TRT Meetings –Members continue to develop user stories Gather Input from User Community –Listserve questions Collaboration across teams in support of unification –Preconstruction, CRLMS, Technical TRTs –TTF

17. Focus in the Next Year

18. Preconstruction (Post Production Release) –Warranty Items –Agency Funded Enhancements (Min/Max bid items) –Technology Upgrades and maintenance –TTF Directed Work CRLMS (schedule re-alignment) –Complete remaining business items (interfaces, reports) –Application License/Partitioning, Performance Tests –Beta/Preliminary Release Jan/2009 (100% functionality) –Production Release May/2009 –Warranty Items –Post-Production Release

19. Focus in the Next Year (cont’d) Construction and Materials TRTs –Continue to focus on user story development –Cross-collaboration on global items General –Technology Upgrade (database, browser, Vista OS) –Section 508/WCAG (web content accessibility guidelines) standards –External Access (e.g. contractors) –Support for Implementing Agencies –Integrating Customer Support processes –Support TTF in Product Release Strategy (timing of releases, patches, code branching)

20. Key Lessons Learned

21. Theme Based Approach –User story development –Release planning, Testing, and Preliminary Releases Requirements Gathering –Develop all user stories for theme up front Early User Exposure to Software –Assess need for testing at end of sprint –Once a theme is completed, test feature end to end Handling of Cross-Functional and Global Items –User input, ownership, testing, timing of release

22. Key Lessons Learned (cont’d) Benefits of Unified Product Approach –Testing, interfaces, product release strategy –Leveraging infrastructure for future efforts (security, data model, global functions, automated tests) 100% of Functionality Prior to Beta Interface Challenges (e.g., data dependencies) Environment –Servers, Browser version (e.g., IE6), VMWare –VPN Connectivity
