What are the responsibilities and job description for the UAT Tester position at Smart Gauge Staffing LLC?
Project Overview
The objective of the Pathways project is to implement a fully functional and Agile CCWIS Solution that is aligned with the six components of the Mississippi Child Welfare Practice Model, resulting in productive and empowered staff. Pathways, a COTS solution, will include the ability to conduct financial and administrative business, interface with external systems (both State and Federal), and be compliant with Federal CCWIS requirements.
