QA Madness and an anonymised fashion and apparel retailer: Magento functional testing case analysed
Verdict: what is checkable
The evidence grade (this site's label for how a case is sourced: primary with client or press confirmation, secondary when vendor-hosted only.) is secondary: the only source is the vendor's own page; the case publishes no metric, so nothing in it can be checked as a figure. [ev-1184]

Problem as stated
A business requirement was missed during development and testing and only showed up after release. One product had several color and size options, a second had one color and several sizes. The client's SEO specialist could not merge the color attributes so that the first product offered all its colors. The vendor was asked to find the root cause of this behavior on the live Magento store. [ev-1184]
failed to unite the color attributes of both items(quoted from the source)

Reading notes for a buyer
This case speaks to the scenario “First outsourced QA team for a mid-size retailer” and feeds dimension D1 (Retail case study evidence) of the methodology. A question to put to QA Madness:
After the color attribute defect was found, were regression checks for product attribute inheritance added, and who keeps running them? [ev-1184]
