Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system testing plan for the Commercial Loans project. The project aims to design, build, and implement a fully functional post-origination commercial lending solution. This document details the testing objectives, scope, strategy, and resources required to ensure the system meets the specified requirements.

Objectives

The objectives of the system testing are to:

• Verify that the system can book commercial loans, both bilateral and syndicated.
• Ensure the system can account for loans throughout their lifetime, from setting up a facility through repayments of drawdowns and on to loan facility maturity.
• Identify and resolve defects to ensure the system functions as intended.

Scope

The scope of the system testing includes:

• Booking commercial loans (bilateral and syndicated).
• Setting up loan facilities.
• Managing repayments of drawdowns.
• Handling loan facility maturity.

Test Strategy

The overall test strategy includes:

• Functional Testing: To verify that all functionalities work as expected.
• Performance Testing: To ensure the system performs under load.
• Security Testing: To ensure the system is secure from external threats.
• Usability Testing: To verify that the system is user-friendly.

Test Plan

Test Environment

The test environment will include:

• Hardware: Servers, client machines, and network infrastructure.
• Software: Operating systems, databases, application servers, and the commercial lending application.
• Network Configurations: Necessary IP configurations and network settings.

Test Criteria

• Entry Criteria:
  • All required test environments are set up and accessible.
  • Test data is prepared and available.
  • All necessary documentation is complete and approved.
• Exit Criteria:
  • All test cases have been executed.
  • All critical defects have been resolved.
  • Test summary report has been reviewed and approved.

Test Deliverables

• Test cases
• Test scripts
• Test data
• Test execution reports

Test Schedule

The high-level schedule of testing activities is as follows:

• Test Planning: 10/18/2024 - 10/22/2024
• Test Case Development: 10/23/2024 - 11/04/2024
• Test Execution: 11/05/2024 - 12/01/2024
• Defect Resolution: 12/02/2024 - 12/10/2024
