System Integration Test Execution Approach

System Integration testing will be performed in three cycles where each cycle will present a subset of the end to end developed system integration test cases that will be executed and any defects raised during that phase will be subject to the defect management procedure process

The cycles are as follows:

1. Cycle 0

This cycle is defined as a smoke test cycle (Environment and Connectivity Test, Data and Configuration Verification) where a sample of test cases will be executed to check if the solution is ready and working properly for the full force SIT testing.

2. Cycle 1: Test to Pass

During this cycle the ‘Test-to-Pass’ test cases will be executed to assure that the expected behavior baseline is working properly (Online and backend functions, Apply Test-to-Pass). The details of those test cases will be covered in the developed test cases.

3. Cycle 2: Test to Fail

During this cycle the Test-to-Pass and Test-to-Fail will be executed to test the behavior of the application in cases of failures/problems such as non responding core banking application, response time out. The details of those test cases will be covered in the developed test cases.

4. Optional Regression Cycle:

During this cycle optional regression testing is performed (core and critical functions) and if time allows optional regression testing for all functions for the integrated solutions.
