U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)

Midway into the USDA implementation of new Guaranteed Underwriting System (GUS), the Agency made a change to intake Fannie Mae Desktop Underwriter MISMO 3.4 v1.8.1 for easier lender and vendor adoption. At this time, Phoenix joined their efforts to handle End to End testing. Our team of experienced User Acceptance Testers (UAT) took the lead to create a testing strategy and plan followed by script writing, defect management, test matrix, executive reporting and gap analysis. Our partnership with Rural Housing Single Family Housing National Office (SFHNO) and the project team turned from End to End testing to full functional story testing. Within a year, we had the new and improved GUS system to Production. In the Phoenix way, we made sure Rural Housing SFHNO had the tools for continued quality UAT for when they would take those reigns.
