These days, this is not a new concept, however, it is one of the slickest ways to improve the performance and extensibility of a Financial Services platform. The use of Virtual Environments and De-Coupling the components of a financial enterprise system to communicate with each other in real time, is proving a powerful combination of methodology for:
1. Maintaining a Master Copy of the baselined engine, which is rolled through the dev and testing process using VERSIONED updates into a virtual environment.
2. Keeping a daily reconciliation accurate for a report or even a GL inquiry.
2. Makes the old BATCH methodology obsolete.
3. Opens the door to automation and parameterization of testing for complex systems.
a. lower costs for testing attributed to automation (repeatable and parameterized)
4. Provides instant converted data (once Data Quality is completed) with a direct drop into an iterative, virtual database for testing
5. Direct and INSTANT communication with Database from Platform
Just adding new text for sending notice…
These are just a few of the most obvious advantages. But this is representative of the new types of systems becoming available to large financial institutions globally. Fulbright IT & Testing is actively engaged with clientele that adopts this approach, and is successfully producing Testing Methodology that is compatible and congruent with this new level of technology. 10 years ago this was unheard of. 5 years it was being done with homegrown, hand stitched internal systems – effective, but touchy. Now we have some time and development behind us and there are new frameworks – out of the box – which provide a working platform to accelerate the development of regional requirements, and proprietary products and services.
We are the leading edge in testing these environments.
We have been THE ONLY presenter at PegaWorld for the last 4 Years. NO ONE else has even attempted to present. I have built and held the only existing Testing Methodology for Pega PRPC since version 4.3 through 6.2. There are other client BREs that have benefitted from our approach and methodology.
If you have a system such as this, and would like more information on how to harness this powerful environment and testing methodology, please contact us.
