Project-Specific Scope Details

Project 1 (Bioburden Alignment):
The core deliverable is the transition of Master Data configuration in MODA to handle numeric values (>250/>50) instead of text-based "TNTC" flags. Support must ensure that existing trending reports do not break during this shift. This is an Opex project and will be funding via Quality

Project 2 (Growth Direct Interface):
This requires specific deliverables for Data Integrity verification. The CSV support must prove that counts from the Growth Direct camera are accurately "mapped" to the corresponding sample record in MODA without manual entry. Liz to confirm with Tyler Zbinden if this project has capital funding that could be charged to.

Key CSV Deliverables &

Test Script Development (ALM):
Designing and managing all manual and automated test scripts within Client ALM with full traceability.

Interface & Data Integrity Verification:
Specifically validating the secure data mapping and transfer between the Growth Direct instrument and MODA.

Comprehensive Regression Testing:
Ensuring that new method configurations and the instrument interface do not impact existing MODA functionality or data integrity.

Defect & Deviation Management:
Managing root cause analysis and documentation for any issues identified during the execution phase.

Cross-Functional Coordination:
