Technological Innovations towards providing Quality for major Bank's challenge:

When the Banks decided to implement a new design for their web-based corporate banking application on highly customized and multiple integrated systems, they turned to Technovision for a quality assurance that had the experience to ensure success.

The Banks massively integrated implementation broke new ground with its complexity and interfaces to existing systems. With a total of 12,000 test cases to verify functionality automatically, banks could not rely on manual testing for each build o component –certainly not without risking oversights that could pose serious potential cost of quality.

Technovision's team introduced a revolutionary test automation suite of dynamically data-driven scripts that utilized generic office tools to drive client/server and web applications, but transacted with mainframes, processed routines and verified data directly in the object oriented database system. Technovision’s methodology provided comprehensive regression testing coverage that enabled the bank's QA team to fully test all applications in off business hours, allowing regular trading to continue working seamlessly throughout the day.

Technovision relied on its depth of knowledge and experience as strategic quality assurance consultants to provide unique solutions and tools when no clear alternative was conceivable.

When you are ready to move into comprehensive, measurable and repeatable optimized automated testing of your systems, ask Technovision to come in for a QA assessment.

Building a re-usable library of Automated Test Suite:

Project Overview:
This is a trading system designed to meet the requirements for handling and managing trade orders. Using this system they can acquire a quick overview of the order situation, both in particular securities and groups of securities. The system handle orders from the Order file , which are not processed by an automatic execution system. The application also handles messages sent regarding order status, etc., the so-called "admin" messages. Using this system the brokers can focus on the orders that are of interest to them. Orders coming from the Order File go to the Order book and are displayed in the application windows. It uses win form of .NET technology to facilitate the front end.

QAvision's role:
QAvision's designed manual test cases to automated test suite using Mercury's Quick Test Professional with .NET add-ins. Technovision also developed a key word driven automation framework (Dynamic Library), which reports errors for subsequent release regression test.

Test Execution and Process Oriented Software Quality Analysis:

Our client maintains multiple source files for various stock exchanges on different platforms such as UNIX, Mainframe VMS and Windows. These source files of different format, convert to common ASCII text format, which in turn fed to the Extraction Transformation and Load (ETL) process to have the centralized Data warehouse repository. The repository receives files from the the different business sources. Our client maintains a common Data warehouse to reduce the high cost of operations and maintenance which has arisen due to multiple operations sites, duplication of data and systems / applications, & complex legacy systems developed over a time. It uses Oracle SQL/Stored Procedure to load the repository.

QAvision's role:
Test Execution & Software Quality Assurance (Process oriented): We offered our services right from the requirement stage to Production. We prepared the various QA templates such as Test Plan, Test execution, Review checklist, Defect tracking for each release & summary report of QA metrics as per the data warehousing requirements.

We developed the Test tool to speed up the datawarehouse test execution process converting ASCII text files to Excel format, and converting all Excel text files to XML format for ETL source file. We also went on to convert ETL regression test tools, which verify ETL for regression test.
