Offshore Testing Paragon - warning to PARAGON clients.

Offshore QA testing of Paragon and regression testing of Paragon is dangerous. They are passing tests in the clinical applications that have failed subsequent testing by on-shore QA analysts and clinicians. Some regressions tests look like they have been passed by the automaton team but not actually run when the software is examined. Reports have been made about issues but nobody is listening....or nobody cares.

Patient lives are at stake here, somebody up above please please please wake up and look into this.

It's all due to a lack of accountability, made even worse by this stupid 'SAFE' Agile methodology. Scrum masters and product owners refuse to do their jobs, spending more time pointing fingers at each other than getting anything corrected. As long as it's documented on a spreadsheet, it's OK.

Throw in the fact that now 80% of development and qa have limited ability to communicate in English, and zero motivation to ensure their work is correct, and you end up with the disaster that is now Paragon. I often wonder if other software products at MCK are this poorly managed. If they are, then MCK really needs to get out of the business entirely.

As the OP stated: patient lives are at stake. Unfortunately, executives and their underlings are never held accountable for the people our software kills as a result of their incompetent management. They should be.
