Developed Test Plans, including Test Cases
for over 30 pre-existing MS Access applications of varying
complexity for a multi-phased migration project from LAN Network
drives to a Citrix server farm, with a team strategy to decrease
application risk and provide cost benefits through the use of MS
Access Runtime 2003.
Designed and developed new MS Access applications with VBA to
support the project. Partnered with Enterprise development team to
reverse engineer MS Access applications to translate VBA logic to
facilitate re-development in Cobol for 3090 Mainframe environment.
Assessed risks to applications so that tools that had been
partially integrated into Enterprise systems would function after
deployment.
Worked in a team with two other developers to enhance, test and
deploy MS Access applications to a Citrix Server Farm running both
MS Access 2000 and MS Access 2003. Coordinated testing of tools
over multiple domains for applications interfacing with Oracle
databases and the 3090 Mainframe.
