LISA reduced the Execution Effort by 80%. Service Virtualization was also

implemented to remove dependency on external systems.

The System is a Complex Middleware system based on MQ's, Web Services,

Oracle Databases, Java Batches, Mainframe Jobs and external applications

which helps the customer to make credit card payments. It was mainly

classified into MQ or Web Services exposed to the front end applications to

access data and Java and Mainframe Jobs that process the payments and

create transactions.

As part of this role I was required to create ta Proof of Concept,

the Test Approach, Test Plan and Test Schedule.

Responsibilities:

. Identifying the scope for Automation in the System

Functional Testing of Real Time Messaging (RTM)

Role: QA Analyst

RTM is a middleware application allows other client applications to have

real time access to the primary data entities and services of the

enterprise in a reliable, predictable and secure way. RTM exposes web

services which accept request messages in soap format over http/https

protocol from client application, gathers the data from multiple downstream

clients, process the data, generates the response and sends it back to the

client. This project used both Agile and Waterfall methodologies.

As part of Functional Testing Parasoft's SOATest was used to simulate

the client requests to the web services. The response of the web service is

validated against the rules of transformation and logic to be implemented

on the data that is returned from the downstream application(s) or the

backend(s). Automated Regression Suites were created and maintained to

execute a set of Tests for every release.

Responsibilities:

. Defined the Test Scope by attending the Project Initiation meeting.

. Created a High level Test Design that defines the test strategy and

approach.

. Created Business Assurance Document that details risks and mitigation
