Testing of application plug-ins for editorial Content Management application

Our client has various product lines which are directly used by print media. The plug-ins offer solutions for designing, content writing, styling, image rendering and various other needs of publishing industry. The applications support great range of OS and database combinations. Our challenge was to provide testing for all these products in a systematic manner, where parallel product testing could be carried on by the same team of testers. We got involved in creating extensive test scripts, which were verified by them before putting into execution. Installation testing was carried on various OSs like Mac, Windows (various versions) and Linux in combination with different versions of PHP, web servers with backend databases as MSSQL, MySQL, Sybase and Oracle.
