The purpose of this contract is to provide CMS with fully integrated testing functionality for the Fee for Service (FFS) ecosystem, consisting of the following components: Fiscal Intermediary Shared System(FISS), Multi-Carrier System (MCS), Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Common Working File (CWF), Dental Claims Processing System (DCPS), the Benefits Coordination & Recovery Center/(BCRC)/Medicare Secondary Payer Systems Contractor (MSPSC) Coordination of Benefits Agreement (COBA) systems process, and the Medicare Payment System Modernization (MPSM). This functionality will manifest in ongoing test site(s) and technical support services/validation for both steady-state operational readiness and development capacity. With the goal of eliminating gaps that exist between the current Alpha, Beta and User Acceptance Testing, the MIST represents a continued evolution whereby testing further matures to be more modular and integrated, with abilities to test end-to-end; utilizing a production-like environment and infrastructure, in an effort to mimic real-world production scenarios.
CMS seeks the skills of a testing team that is well-versed in industry standard software test engineering for both legacy Mainframe computing and modern Cloud computing infrastructure.
This team should include, but not limited to, Software Test Engineering, Software Engineer Developer in Test (SDET), Performance Test Engineering and Test Automation Architecture.
Responsibilities of the MIST contractor:
- Using a maximum amount of automation for all testing phases, the MIST contractor is responsible for performing ongoing test functionality of the FISS, MCS, DME System, CWF, DCPS, and BCRC.
- The MIST contractor is responsible for both modular and end-to-end testing of the MPSM.
- The MIST contractor will integrate the testing teams into the MPSM teams in the beginning of the contract to provide testing according to and ahead of the delivery schedule.
