Business Challenges
As software vendors offer more flexible solutions to their clients, the need for
complex testing increases. This is further complicated by the need not just to test
applications in isolation but as an integral part of a larger application environment.
Bug fixes, patches, new development and upgrades have to be tested end to end
across all the involved platforms and systems. This process requires good
coordination, tremendous effort, time to execute the test scenarios and large
numbers of resources. All of this adds up when looking at the overall cost of testing.
Therefore the use of ready and properly structured test scenarios not only can ensure
the completeness of test coverage, but also significantly reduce deployment and
testing costs.
Model Bank Testing Accelerators
Validata SAS has been developed to deliver packaged, enterprise wide solutions, in
testing and legacy migration for the financial sector and banking IT professionals.
Significant investment has been made in both the development of product
functionality and relevant content, re-usable test cases to be packaged and delivered
to clients as part of the overall product solution.
Our goal from the outset was to optimize reusability across functional, technical and
regression testing. Our Model Bank Testing Accelerators will allow us and our
partners to jump start our clients’ implementation by having up to 70% of the core
Test Cases and Test Steps available immediately testing begins.
The reusability of the automated libraries offers real value. From Test Requirements,
Test Design, Test Scenarios and scripts to Change Management, we can help your
validation efforts. Reusability is the key driver in reducing costs.

Model Bank Testing Accelerators Design
To ensure completeness of test coverage, test cases have been designed
using the following principles:

Re-usability based on:

Site independence

System Date independence

Currency independence

Exchange and interest rate independence

‘Four Eyes’ principle of input and authorize

Input, Amend, Reverse and Delete

End to End check steps including limit updates, entry and delivery
message generation, General Ledger updates

Verification of SWIFT message output

Checks of interest calculations and currency conversions

Multiple users

Automatic triggered of COB and confirmation of successful
completion
