Project history
CarSystems is one of the leading providers of Garage Management Software (GMS) in the Netherlands. The software provides shop owners all activities that can be done in a car shop like: manage work orders, order parts, add and remove accounts, manage vehicles, buy and sell cars.
The size of the GMS grows. The development method chosen is Scrum. Testing/QA proves to be a growing issue, because the teams cannot manage QA properly themselves. My job is to introduce and set up agile testing/quality assurance within the teams.
- Set up functional testing within the teams. Get the load off the PO.
- Manage and monitor the scrum process. Putting responsibilities at the correct roles.
- Steer the teams to become more mature in the scrum process, steer focus.
- Pick up functional QA, Set up feedback loops, get the teams to focus on QA, etc.
- Set up computer aided testing for regression tests and release tests

An agronomical tool is being developed, NMP (Nutrient Management Plan). NMP is a complex calculation module, embedded in a web application. The calculation module advises how much N, P, K, Mg, S and CaO has to be added to the soil for an optimal yield, without impacting the environment.
Since the input variables are almost analogue and the input variables also differ per region, the calculation module exists of a number of algorithms that are interdependent. The tool will first be developed for Germany.
