- 6. Agile Testing Alliance Global Testing Retreat 2017 Features & Benefits • Imports metadata from COTS product which acts as object repository • Interacts with COTS product through backend (open financial services layer provided by COTS vendor) • Performs static data comparison • Possible to integrate with test data management tools • Can be easily integrated with automation tools for COTS product interface automation • Early automation without connectivity with COTS product environment • Integration with standard Test management tools Technical Features • Design of automation scripts and execution • Script less tool, which does not require scripting knowledge • Easy script maintenance • Execution can be done on multiple COTS product environments in parallel Functional Features Tool Benefits Enables faster execution Script-less design allows across the board usage (Testers, Business Analysts, Business users) Higher Accuracy & reduce regression cycle time Ease of maintenance & effortless integration in banking landscape Execution can be done on multiple machines in parallel User friendly reports that are easy to analyze
- 7. Agile Testing Alliance Global Testing Retreat 2017 Competitive Advantage Scalability COTS Business-Readiness Testing Framework is developed considering an automation solution for BFS COTS products and it is scalable to manage any size of test automation suite for all other COTS products Script-less Design Bank’s business users can also build the automation scripts as there is no scripting knowledge required for this Framework, leading to higher-test design productivity. It is a complete script less automation tool. Faster Execution Speed of execution of this Framework is 10 times faster than traditional automation tools like HP QTP, Selenium etc. Maintainability Script maintenance is very easy as it carries complete metadata of the COTS product Extendibility This tool to is extendable to other key core banking products like Flexcube, Oracle Banking Products etc. Feasibility of extending it to Oracle Banking Product (OBP) has been completed with positive results Coverage Nearly 100% automation coverage for COTS product, reducing the risk of defect leakage
- 8. Agile Testing Alliance Global Testing Retreat 2017 Conclusion • COTS Business-Readiness Testing Framework differentiating customer’s engagement experience • Execution of module level scripts through one batch (through OFS layer) which making execution much faster • A script-less automation tool that does not require scripting knowledge • Opportunity for seamless integration of the end to end test scripts, as it can integrate with available automation tools.
