Business Challenges
All organizations are under pressure to reduce costs and improve quality, whilst keeping pace with new technologies and practices. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Cloud are emerging to become the predominant business models and creating disruption in the testing tools market.
The traditional focus has been to test same specific activities (load, stress, functional, regression).
Economic conditions and pressure to improve time to market are placing increased emphasis on productivity and moving away from the shadow of shrink-wrapped software and towards the future of Cloud & SaaS models. With poor software quality leading to user dissatisfaction as well as increased development and maintenance costs, good quality assurance is an essential but costly process.
Therefore, having a well-defined testing software tool and practices to drive software quality will positively affect the overall bottom line of the business.
Validata TestCloud™
Unlike traditional tools, Validata SAS validates Core Banking systems, aligns testing to business requirements whilst improving productivity and automation coverage, and achieves reduced test cycle times in all phases of testing. Service offerings and flexible pricing schemes are all part of the unique offering of TestCloud™.
TestCloud™
is a standardized Test ‘Utility’ solution with well-defined best practices, test automation, re-usable test assets and standards, robust defect and change management processes, and enhanced ROI.
TestCloud™
enables customers to move away from unstable environments, limited centralized governance and high costs of quality, and establish their own test environment in the cloud leveraging pre-built test cases and Validata SAS automated solution that can reduce test effort by a factor of as much as ten to one.
The end of testing as you know it!
Pay per use model (monthly, quarterly, annually, etc) Instant testing from everywhere Low risk commitment Ease of use Instant access to pre-built test case library including Country Models and Islamic Banking
TestCloud™ Service Offerings
Custom Reporting via SLA’s and defect management
The only true Pay-per-use model for Temenos T24™. Optimize IT spending and reduce hardware and license costs. Shift from capital expenses (CAPEX) to operating expenses (OPEX) model to free capital for more strategic investments.
TestCloud™ Delivery Phases
Phase 1 – On Going
Due Diligence Gap Analysis Test Quality Analysis Test Case Design Manual execution
Phase 2 – Set Up
Test Automation Environment preparation Dry Run
Phase 3 – Run
Impact Analysis New Test Case design New Test automation Environment preparation Run 3 Test cycles
Phases 1 and 2 are one off Phase 3 is replicated for each type of testing (Functional, System, Integration etc.) taking advantage of reusable assets from previous phases and executions

Model Bank Testing Accelerators
Access to a library of pre-built reusable test cases and business workflows, which enable you to jumpstart your testing projects and substantially reduce the effort of testing. These test cases are the foundation for end-to-end automated testing of the complete Temenos T24™ stack from Country Model Bank, to ISB and Local Code.
Our testing accelerators allow Validata Test Factory™ 2.0 to jump start our clients implementation by having up to 80% of the core Test Cases and Test Steps available immediately testing begins.
The structure provides a ‘ready-to-use’ set of test scenarios, grouped into logical functions and based on the major banking business functions (i.e. Loans, deposits, FX...), providing re-usability. Reusability is the key driver in reducing costs. As a limited amount of customization will be required, the cost of implementing Validata is significantly reduced.
Extend your test coverage with Validata SAS!
Validata Adapters
An Adapter is a component which connects Validata SAS to external systems and data sources to enable quality automated testing:
Validata SAS acquires appropriate information from the software application under test using our unique adaptor technology Our adapters enable the mapping between Validata objects and system under test objects No development / scripting is required
MS Project Adapter SQL Adapter SOA Adapter Globus Desktop Adapter T24 Web Adapter T24 OFS Adapter Generic Adapters SWIFT Adapter ISO-8583 Adapter Performance Adapter SOAP Adapter
Benefits
Consistent defined Quality for each Release Reduced defect leakage across the testing lifecycle Team optimization by utilizing shared services Predictable service delivery Business – IT aligned approach to testing Low risk commitment Effortlessly Scalable and Easy to Deploy Improved productivity and standardized processes Efficient reporting and metrics Reduced Total Cost of Ownership Up to 60% reduction in testing execution effort 40% reduction in knowledge transition effort
The Critical Differences
Higher system quality achievable trough structured operating model with predictable repeatable delivery process Better planning though more accurate effort estimation Rigorous metrics collection across projects supports continuous process improvement TestCloud™
Benefits Common Tools & Infrastructure Standard Processes
Reduced effort through reuse of common frameworks, templates and data repositories Maximized test automation Optimize tool licensing requirements Resources Knowledge Repository
Lower labor costs through optimization utilization of offshore resources Dedicated team builds expertise over time
Consolidated knowledge repository lowers risks associated with loss of institutional knowledge Ability to leverage cross project understanding yields more complete testing
