We were met with scepticism as to what we could achieve. We left with the belief that nothing was too hard or would take too much time. Our defect turn around rate was never more than 24 hours. The ability to test on demand and replicate issues without external dependencies just took the pressure off delivery. Whilst it was before the days of Lean, we lived Lean, eliminating those unconscious time wasters of environment, data, improper code and missed specs.
We were asked why we thought we would be able to find errors in a system and SWITCH with worldwide installations. We found an error in SWIFT’s own implementation of a mandatory field being ignored. The error in the SWITCH was deep-seated and took a long time to fix. In both cases, we were able to replicate errors on demand. Service Virtualization enabled the kind of testing that was hitherto not possible.
Using my knowledge and skill in deep technical testing of SWIFT messages enabled me to create scenarios that uncovered the incorrect implementation of a SWIFT rule. I was able to execute a wide variety of those scenarios through Service Virtualization
Three weeks of the month was taken up in tedious monotonous work of creating messages, inputting to the system and checking the results. That’s done in a day. I now get to do exploratory testing, session based testing and provide real value to the project.
An Upgrade to our middle office system was taking 9 months. I needed a platform that would reduce effort and time for the life of the system. We created the platform and carried out an upgrade with less time and effort than the previous upgrade.
