Introduction

The purpose of this System Test Plan is to outline the testing approach for the replacement of Test Bank's old core banking system with the latest Temenos Transact core banking software (R24 release). Additionally, this plan covers the integration of third-party systems like Paymentus for payments and LendingPad for loan origination. This document provides a comprehensive view of the testing strategy, scope, resources, schedule, and deliverables to ensure the project's success without disrupting the bank's 250,000 members.

Objectives

The primary objective of the system testing is to ensure that the new core banking system, including the third-party integrations, functions as expected and meets all business requirements. The testing aims to:

• Validate the functionality of Temenos Transact core banking software.
• Ensure seamless integration with Paymentus and LendingPad.
• Confirm that all accounts with $100 or less are purged and closed, and refunds are issued by check.
• Verify that the UX design adheres to the color scheme requirement (shades of blue only).
• Ensure no disruption to the bank’s current 250,000 members during the transition.
• Automate all testing using Selenium.
• Ensure that the project is completed within six months and goes live on New Year's Eve, 2024.

Scope

The scope of the system testing includes:

• Functional testing of Temenos Transact core banking software.
• Integration testing with Paymentus payments and LendingPad loan origination systems.
• Data migration testing to ensure accurate purging and closing of accounts with $100 or less.
• UX testing to verify the use of shades of blue only.
• Automated testing using Selenium.
• Performance testing to ensure system reliability and efficiency.
• Security testing to safeguard member data.

Test Strategy

The overall test strategy includes various types of testing:

• Functional Testing: To verify that each function of the software application operates in conformance with the requirement specification.
• Integration Testing: To ensure that the various modules and third-party systems work together as expected.
• Performance Testing: To check the responsiveness, throughput, reliability, and scalability of the system.
• Security Testing: To identify vulnerabilities and ensure the security of the system.
• UX Testing: To verify compliance with the UX design requirement (shades of blue only).
• Automated Testing: Using Selenium to automate the testing process for efficiency and consistency.

Test Plan

Test Environment

The test environment will include:

• Hardware: Servers, network configurations, and workstations.
• Software: Temenos Transact R24, Paymentus, LendingPad, Selenium, and other relevant tools.
• Network Configurations: Secure network configurations to mimic the production environment.
• Other Components: Necessary APIs and integrations.

Test Criteria

• Entry Criteria:

  • Test environment setup is complete.
  • Test data is prepared and available.
  • Test cases and scripts are reviewed and approved.
  • Required tools and resources are in place.

• Exit Criteria:

  • All planned tests are executed.
  • All critical and major defects are resolved.
  • Test summary report is reviewed and approved.
  • Stakeholder sign-off is obtained.

Test Deliverables
