I developed a test case/issue management application (“TCIM”) to manage testing and issues specifically for the QLogitek environment. It is coded in PHP and built on top of a development framework called the “Simple PHP Framework”, authored by Tyler Hall. Testing-related information is stored in a MySQL database.

The basic workflow of the TCIM is as follows.

1. Create Test Suite from Specification Document.
2. Break Down Specification into Individual Test Cases.
3. Record a Test and Generate an Issue on Failure.
4. Lead Developer Responds to Issue Notification.
5. Developer Addresses Issue.
6. Lead Developer Reviews Issue Fix.
7. Lead Tester Reviews Issue Fix.
8. Test Analyst Conducts and Records a New Test.
