Problem as stated

The client runs a B2B platform where manufacturers buy industrial materials. Its release kept slipping because of quality problems, and critical defects turned up in acceptance testing just before the planned release date. It needed the system brought to releasable quality within two months to keep that date. [ev-1792]

Reading notes for a buyer

This case speaks to the scenario “Peak-season readiness in 90 days” and feeds dimension D1 (Retail case study evidence) of the methodology. A question to put to SHIFT ASIA:

How many testers worked on the recovery, and how many of the defects found were critical and in the purchasing and payment flows? [ev-1792]
