Challenges
Business Challenges
Adra Match’s software is designed to support customer needs through flexible and configurable business rules, ease of use with scalability to millions of transactions per day. Their customer base ranges from small companies reconciling a single bank account to extremely complex solutions tailored to very specific applications.
To accommodate this wide range of requirements, their software itself is complex, incorporating myriad business rules, options, and versions. In order to test the software from an end-user perspective, Adra Match needed to find a testing provider who was familiar with their business domain and could understand their customers.
Additionally, Adra Match wanted a testing partner with high technical competence as installation and configuration of their systems on different platforms combined with testing scalability needed to be done on a regular basis.
Solutions
Tailored solutions
Partnering with XBOSoft enabled Adra Match to benefit from a wide range of XBOSoft’s software testing solutions and expertise, such as:
Domain Knowledge
XBOSoft worked closely with Adra Match to ensure that their customer’s “use cases” would be fully covered in the testing process. Because XBOSoft had already worked with several other customers in the financial software domain, the set up process was significantly compressed saving weeks in the schedule.
Regression Testing
Adra Match’s product releases are not frequent. As such, they contain numerous new features and fixes. To ensure maximum test coverage with high build frequency, and while keeping to a tight schedule, XBOSoft developed and extensive test plan utilizing various regression suites with each build using a matrix coverage approach.
Platform Compatibility
Adra Match’s software runs in both a web version and client-server versions. XBOSoft provided testing across all operating system platforms – Windows (from 2000 version to 2008 version), and browser combinations (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Explorer).
Performance Testing
Adra Match’s customers access millions of records per day across various platforms creating a complex case of user scenarios. To properly manage and ensure testing performance did not degrade across versions, XBOSoft developed a benchmarking and testing system using its test results analyzer; XBO MachOne™.
