The levels of QA status show the project's progress and signalize who is working on an issue!

The list shows the processes in the relation of Customer - CADENAS. Detailed analyses with History analyzer show exactly which project took how long in which QA level. See also Section 6.9, “ History analyzer ”.

The following table shows, when it is someones turn according to his role and which possibilities there are to change a status.

For example, in level 1 and 7 it is the customer's turn.

Changes from level 4 to 5 are set by an automatic test.

In level 2 to 6, CADENAS is responsible.

QA stepsOverviewMatrix QA level - role

Matrix QA level - role

The column "Responsibility for action" shows the role dependency:

  • Editor = PARTsolutions (Designer)

    -> Setting of QA status 1-4

  • QA group leader = PARTsolutions (group leader)

    -> Setting of QA level 6

  • QA project leader = PARTsolutions (Project leader)

    -> Setting of QA status 7

  • Catalog manufacturer

    -> Setting of QA status 1,2 and 8

  • External worker+Partial Publisher (special case, not part of above matrix)

    [Note]Note

    Role External worker+Partial Publisher: The schema described under Fig. „ Matrix QA level - role“ is principally also valid here, but due to the overlappings between "External worker" and "Customer" some more options are offered here.

    [Note]Note

    In the role External worker+Partial Publisher the right for partial publishing is permanently integrated. However, this right can administratively be given to each role in addition. Concerning partial publishing see Section 6.10.5, “ Generate QA catalog... | Publish Live state... ” -> Special notes.

    Modification options:

    • based on status 1 -> 2,3

    • based on status 2 -> 1,3

    • based on status 3 -> 1,2,4

    • based on status 4 -> 1,2,3

      [Note]Note

      Status 5 can only be reached by data check via PARTqaChecker (TestMeta).

      On this see Section 5.8.2.1.12, “ Test project / Test directory ”.

    • based on status 5 -> 1,2,3,6,8

    • based on status 6 -> 1,2,3,7,8

    • based on status 7 -> 1,2,3,8

    • based on status 8 -> 1,2,3

  • Project Coordinator

    The role "Project Coordinator" is only available for a narrow circle of people. It enables special settings and error corrections.

    [Note]Note

    The use of the role "Project Coordinator" can be seen in the history.

[Note]Note

For all roles applies at status changes on directory level: The current status of a directory can be set again under New QA status, since subordinated directories or projects may have another status.
