We spoke on Quality Assurance and key challenges of delivering large post-trade initiatives:
-
Difficulties in coping with functional complexity experienced by the project team
-
Aligning tests correctly in batches that correspond to events in the daily life cycle, including multiple days
-
Accelerating the daily life cycle to speed up test execution and to cover Settlement Failure processes in testing within a reasonable timeframe
-
Accurately simulating and controlling test inputs from upstream systems and outputs to downstream systems
-
Management of complex Reference Data setup
-
Involvement of complex components such as Risk Management and Collateral Management systems
-
Test cycle turnaround time, client certification and test automation
We outlined some innovative Quality Assurance techniques and tools that can make a significant difference in addressing those challenges. Such tools can also be used for the actual migration for production systems.
