eCommerce Webshop

I participated from requirement gathering to project go-live tenure in the webshop designing, and in migration–from legacy system to the new platform created by Microsoft.

I had to convert requirements into user stories and then write and execute test cases. After successful delivery, I had to lead the UAT sessions for requirements mapping and later bug triage meetings. All the artifacts were created on Azure DevOps, and to show the progress, I created and managed all the dashboards for the management and the client. Besides that, I led communication and coordination within the QAs and developers team, including back-end and front-end developers. The scope was to test the site with four locales on all major browsers, mobile devices, and tablets. There are 36 real-time integrations involved to manage the product catalog, order management system, and loyalty discounts. Including credit cards and PayPal, custom payment solutions were developed and tested to facilitate loyal customers. The customized solution was developed to show real-time inventory on the website from 350 stores. Including credit cards and PayPal, custom payment solutions were developed and tested.
