Edison, You completed a complex series of VBCP regression tests; replicating test scenarios and testing the smallest document detail and making sure the data we validated in July and August were still valid in February for all approved states. You also tested cross-platform regression tests of Simply Unum and EDO documents, verifying VBCP changes did not affect them. Of special note, you completed over 90% of all data needs internally. Concurrently, you performed a very difficult test for the iDoc Version 3 Conversion for Case Tracker and GCI08, comparing new documents against documents from earlier testing. To save time, QA decided to use existing data to test a full spectrum of states and plan designs. This proved an especially tricky task with the limited tools we had and the age of the sample materials. Next, you were able to test requirements successfully even when some of those requirements were not clear or went through multiple revisions. Finally, you were always flexible and responsive when testing or data creation needs changed. Many times, you had to drop what you were doing and react to new developments or temporary shifts in priority. You also supported other areas in QA with data creation and you delivered on several PFIX needs in a very timely manner. Thank you! & Best Wishes
