PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Richmond, VA

Test Manager /Sr. QA Test Lead

Responsibilities:

• Focus on end to end processes, not process components

• This test strategy is accompanied with a set of IPT business scenarios that are specifically designed to test holistic business processes, when data is available, rather than process components.
• Reuse of Member Data: Reduce the need to exercise the member creation and set - up process:
• Leverage existing member data utilized during SIT & UAT where possible for IPT test execution Set up a process to refresh the database and reuse member data for multiple phases and passes
• Leverage EDI & Claims Transactions:
• Leverage automated tools utilized for 5010 test data creation to generate the high volume of claims data needed for IPT testing Identify/leverage tools to create a high volume of 837 transactions that can be reused and reprocessed with updates to key identifiers across claims platforms
• Set up Robust Data Coordination and Execution Sequencing processes:
• Set up and utilize a centralized data collaboration team to enable data sharing and leveraging test data across programs participating in IPT execution Plan and sequence IPT test execution to enable coordinated involvement of programs that are leveraged by multiple core systems or platforms (e.g. coordinating the execution sequence of all test cases related to Care Management with FACETS and WGS to send transactions to Care Management at one time vs. repeatedly exercising the care management function)
• Key Elements of IPT Test Approach
• There are several key elements that provide the foundation of the IPT test approach:
• Separating IPT into three Test Phases Using a Risk Based Approach Iterating Test Execution Acquiring and Manufacturing ICD-10 Test Data
• The HCA / IM ICD-10 IPT initiative will align with the ICD-10 QA operating model as referenced in the ICD-10 Initiative Continuity Testing: Integrated Parallel Test (IPT) with E2E Cost of Care Strategy.
