Introduction

This System Test Plan is designed to validate the implementation of Temenos Transact R24 and replace the existing legacy banking system. It outlines the objectives, scope, strategy, and schedule for system testing, ensuring a smooth transition to the new core banking technology.

Objectives

The primary objectives of system testing for this project are:

  • To verify that Temenos Transact R24 meets all specified functional and non-functional requirements.
  • To ensure seamless integration with existing systems and third-party applications.
  • To validate data migration from the legacy system to Transact R24.
  • To identify and resolve defects prior to deployment.

Scope

The scope of system testing includes:

  • Functional testing of all core banking modules within Transact R24.
  • Performance testing to ensure the system meets required response times and can handle anticipated load.
  • Security testing to verify data protection and compliance with regulatory standards.
  • Data migration testing to ensure accurate transfer of data from the legacy system.

Test Strategy

The overall test strategy includes:

  • Functional Testing: Validate all functional requirements of Transact R24.
  • Performance Testing: Assess system performance under various load conditions.
  • Security Testing: Conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration testing.
  • Data Migration Testing: Verify data integrity and accuracy during migration.

Test Plan

Test Environment

The testing environment will include:

  • Hardware: Servers, workstations, network devices.
  • Software: Temenos Transact R24, middleware, testing tools.
  • Network Configurations: Network setup mimicking production environment.
  • Other Components: Databases, third-party integrations.

Test Criteria

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Approval of test cases and test scripts.
    • Availability of test environment and required resources.
    • Completion of initial data migration.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • All critical and major defects resolved.
    • Successful completion of all planned test cases.
    • Acceptance by stakeholders.

Resources

Required resources for testing include:

  • Personnel: Test managers, test leads, test engineers, developers, business analysts.
  • Tools: Test management tools, performance testing tools, security testing tools.
  • Other Materials: Test data, documentation.

Roles and Responsibilities

Role Responsibility
Test Manager Oversee the testing process, manage resources, and ensure adherence to the test plan
Test Lead Coordinate testing activities and manage the test team
Test Engineer Design and execute test cases, report defects
Developer Fix defects and provide technical support
Business Analyst Ensure test cases align with business requirements

Defect Management

Defects will be managed through a defect tracking system. The process includes:

  • Recording: Log defects with detailed information.
  • Tracking: Monitor defect status and progress.
  • Resolution: Assign defects to appropriate personnel for resolution.
  • Verification: Retest fixed defects to ensure resolution.

Risk Management

Potential risks and mitigation strategies include:

  • Delays in test environment setup: Mitigate by early planning and resource allocation.
  • Unavailability of key personnel: Mitigate by having backup resources.
  • Data migration issues: Mitigate by thorough validation and testing of migrated data.
