Excelian has developed a comprehensive Testing Methodology based on its interpretation of the industry-standard V-Model which we have refined through years of testing experience in complex financial environments. The methodology comprises a comprehensive set of testing templates and processes, supported by bespoke testing tools and a library of tailor-able strategies, plans and testing scripts.
- Testing Strategy Development
- Testing Requirements Identification
- Test Planning
- Test Execution
- Test Review and Reporting
Excelian can provide clients with testing support across the systems development and implementation life cycle (from component integration and system testing to regression testing).While stringent and detailed testing of each aspect of a system is worthwhile, Excelian understands that project overruns, limited testing resources and time constraints usually demand innovative and focused testing approaches. Components of the Excelian testing methodology include:
- Risk analyses and development of heat-maps to identify high risk areas
- Risk-based testing strategy development
- Targeted testing and risk mitigation
Excelian has developed a toolset to optimise testing by retaining data baselines for use in rapid reconciliations to ensure data integrity is maintained, and discrepancies identified and addressed during complex testing cycles and migrations.
