Final day of the CRS QA team


After almost 6 months the work of the QA team of CRS Retail CRM ended on the 24th of November.
Dilani was the first to join CRS as a QA engineer. Two weeks later I joined. Initially we both were working on the Loyalty module of CRM. Eventually Dilani moved on to Campaigns. Later on Eranga and Chandima joined the team.
Chandima helped me out with Loyalty while Eranga helped Dilani on Campaigns.
Later on as the major areas of Loyalty were being completed Chandima left the team. I must take this opportunity to thank Chandima for all the hard work and her dedication.
As time went by the development of Campaigns came to an end and then Loyalty.

Personally for me it was such a great experience. I felt a bit sad when I first got to know that I was allocated to another project, after working in Aetna for the first five months at Virtusa. But as time progressed I realised that it was the best thing that happened to me at Virtusa so far. Apart from the huge privilege of being able to leave office at 6 pm, it was a totally different experience from Aetna.
Aetna being a totally QA project there was no interaction with the dev team. But it was different in CRS, since it was a development project. We were able to work alongside the developers, get to know how they work and their mindset. Another difference was the team size. Aetna had a team size of 100+ and growing at a rapid speed. But in CRS it was less that 20 members. This gave us the opportunity to work closely with the leadership.
All in all it was a fantastic time.

Do you think it is a good thing to let the public knows about Virtusa internals?
