Roche Work Items Detail
The following list
is a sampling of specific configuration and development activities that I
completed at Roche.
This is not a complete list and - for readability
- deliberately excludes testing, upgrade and other follow-on activities.
Please note that upgrade activities were completed twice at this customer
site; from 31H to 46B and from 46B to 46C.
The testing software used for testing was Quicktest and
TestDirector.
