and Enhances Time-to-Market |
A Review of a Functional Testing Engagement Conducted By RTTS
RTTS' client is a leading global

intermediaries, governments and hedge funds
worldwide. This global financial services

The application under test is a
mission-critical, client/server
securities trading system used
internally by employees worldwide.
The application communicates with
several other internal systems,
external customer applications,
links to real-time stock market
applications and market data feeds.
The major challenge of this project
is the aggressive production
schedule with an average of two
releases every month.
RTTS was tasked with the goals:
• automate the existing manual test cases,
• decrease the amount of time to conduct
testing and
• escalate testing coverage for each
production release.
|
|
Using WinRunner, a functional testing tool
from Mercury Interactive, RTTS created an
automated suite of test scripts that provide
a base for repeatable and improvable
testing. Changes can easily be made to the
test scripts for each release. |
|
To increase coverage per testing cycle, RTTS automated over 6,700 test cases,
containing in excess of 306,000 data validations. By automating many of the
simple and tedious test cases, the client's manual test team was able to focus
its efforts on more complex scenarios.
|
RTTS' sophisticated automated test suite saved the client 117 days of manual
effort per testing cycle. With hundreds of thousands of data validations
automated and executed unattended, the project could maintain its ambitious
pace, while increasing the quality of the product delivered to the users.
Due to the success realized through test automation, the client has
contracted additional resources from RTTS to conduct testing on other vital
applications. Combined, the number of data validations conducted by RTTS' expert
team exceeds the half-million mark.
