Staff Log-in Issue Hampers Testing |
|
|
We had to address technical issues with the staff user log in process. This required two unexpected deployments that impacted staff side testing. Testing has resumed in full force. Today’s changes slowed down our testing efforts to quickly validate the most critical items in the release. |

Major System Upgrade on the Horizon |
|
|
While the contractor team is busy fixing the numerous issues our testers identified last week, our IT shop has shifted gears to focus on standing-up a new server environment to support the Corporation’s systems, including My AmeriCorps, e-Grants, and eSPAN. The new ‘Blade Production’ environment will handle the increase in traffic My AmeriCorps will experience as members and grantees/project sponsors begin using the system in new ways. |

Release 3 on Track! |
|
|
Our testing team did a stellar job earlier this week of verifying all but a couple of the defect (bug) fixes on the docket, which has allowed us to stay on track for our mid-May release. The ball is now back with our contractors to do another round of code fixes for the new problems we identified. |

Today marks a major milestone on our project plan for completing the work on Release 3. By close of business we are to have completed testing the fixes to the computer code problems (bugs) that our team had previously identified. We also need to have completed the testing on some new functionality added to Release 3, including the member management module for State/National Grantees. |
