Test Outcomes:
• Test case execution percentage increased from ~74% in Cycle 1 to 100% in Cycle 2.
• Pass rate was 100% in both Cycle 1 and Cycle 2.
• All defects created during UAT were closed by the end of the test cycles.
• There were no Priority 1 or Priority 2 defects open as at the end of Cycle 2 of UAT.
F17’s rapid mobilisation and structured approach enabled the client to achieve a successful implementation with confidence. Testing became not just a project checkpoint but also a vehicle for knowledge transfer and process maturity.
