What is the VVRTS?

I guess the natural thing to do is start off by describing the project to help people better understand what is the VVRTS and what does it do. Of course I'm going to talk much more of the technical aspects and difficulties that I encountered during development but I will also try to make the content accessible to nontechnical people.

“The Verification Validation Report and Tracking System(VVRTS) help companies in demonstrating ISO 9000 compliance in the field of problem reporting and testing”. That's the official description of the VVRTS, to me the VVRTS is much more than that but for starter it's a good description to help understand the tool.

On a technical level the VVRTS is a multi-tiers J2EE project. It's hosted on a JBoss server and uses a PostgreSQL database. The Web content is displayed with JSP(Server-Side), CSS and Javascript Client side.

The VVRTS Project

The VVRTS project started out as a small project. Nothing big, get a summer student(me) and get him to code a small web base application to replace an existing MS Access application. That how this whole story started.


Now we are in the second year of the project and it's grown to become this huge tool that will help out greatly not only IES the company that hired me to do it, but also companies that will buy the product.


So I thought it would be cool to make a blog detailling this ongoing story.
