Reading notes for a buyer
This case speaks to the scenario “Ecommerce platform migration” and feeds dimension D2 (Retail system coverage) of the methodology. A question to put to Qualitest:
Which tests covered the Manhattan Active Omni and SAP integrations, and which framework runs the regression suite (the set of tests rerun before each release to check that existing features still work after a code change.) behind the coverage figure? [ev-1220]
