The CWS/CMS migration from Visual Basic 6 (VB6) to C# code project is still in progress to ensure that the CWS/CMS Application runs on a supported platform. As many are aware, VB6 is no longer supported by Microsoft. Recently a phase of testing was conducted with Co-Existent and Dedicated County participants that uncovered some issues that have been fixed and some that need to be retested. Therefore, at this time we would like to resume C# testing with county users.
The next phase of the resumed C# testing is planned to last four weeks, beginning December 11, 2023, through December 21, 2023, with a brief break for the holidays and resuming on January 8, 2024, then concluding January 18, 2024. We are looking for both Dedicated and Co-Existent Counties who can participate to join a County Test Workshop (CTW) to further test the C# code. We would like to get as much participation from both Dedicated and Co-Existent Counties to make this a success.
Server Based Computing (SBC) soft tokens is the sole tool that will be used to connect to the CTW environment for this phase of testing.
We are looking for testers that have a broad knowledge of the CWS/CMS Application and can simulate case actions that reflect daily work performed by social workers.
The CTW will be structured so that participating testers will receive both broadly defined scenarios to test various areas of the CWS/CMS application along with a list of Incidents that have been identified in previous CTWs that require retesting. In addition, testers will be asked to perform volume, robust testing of the C# code to see if it can handle various activities to support the way daily child welfare activities are performed by social workers. A few examples of testing scenarios might instruct testers to open a form after multiple cases are opened, close and reopen cases, access different areas of CWS/CMS, perform searches, and then try to perform additional actions in CWS/CMS to see how well the C# code handles the workload.
