Sberbank of the Republic of Kazakhstan implemented the system of autotesting

2018: System implementation of the automated functional and regression testing

On August 16, 2018 the Banking Information Systems (BIS) company announced project completion on development and deployment of a system of the automated functional and regression testing for one of banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan to DB of JSC Sberbank entering into the international group Sberbank.

Within the project problems of testing of the banking system functioning both in terminal and in a graphics mode were solved that demanded development of specialized library on C# with adaptation under specifics of credit institution. Also specialists of the large-scale integrated circuit created a basic set of autotests and provided training of employees for further support and development of a system of autotesting.

This project will allow bank to implement the following business objectives:

• Reduction of the general time and quality improvement of testing due to transfer of testing from the manual mode in automated;
• Early detection of possible defects in a program code for increase in reliability of software and quality improvement of customer service;
• Possibility of testing of 24/7 program systems, including days off and holidays for the purpose of decrease in load of the server hardware in peak time and obtaining results of testing by the beginning of each working day for quick search and elimination of errors;
• Creation of a system of regression testing that guarantees functioning of basic functions of a system at any changes of a program code;
• Creation of the distributed system of automatic testing allowing to use any number of workstations / the virtual machines performing testing in the parallel mode;
• Preparation of detailed reports about the held testing, the functions of a system confirming check in required volume and helping (in a case identification of an error) quickly to detect the reason of program failure;
• Possibility of creation of the cross-functional tests including interaction of several program systems for the purposes of integration testing.

In further plans of Sberbank of Kazakhstan and large-scale integrated circuit company – embedding of autotests in a cycle of continuous software integration and also development and deployment of a subsystem of stress testing.
