Implementation of user acceptance test (UAT) to validate functional requirement of integrated computerized banking solution (ICBS) modules

Abstract

In the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), the software product requires implementation of testing phases before the deployment of the product into the real environment. The software testing phases consist of unit testing, integration testing, system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT). Each of the testing phases is essential to ensure the software conforms to the requirements. The UAT is crucial phase of software testing activities. All the requirements will be validated and completely covered during this phase. Unfortunately, many neglect the importance of this phase and this causes failures after the deployment of the software product. Additionally the testers also face difficulties in adhere to software testing process. There are numerous reasons for this, including the difficulty in mastering the complexity of managing the entire test activities in software testing projects. In order to assist testers in managing the testing process effectively, Software Test Management Tool such as HP ALM is available to support organization of test artifacts i.e. test requirements, test cases and test results. In this project, there are four main objectives which are to ensure the quality of software product developed that is going to be delivered to customer. The second objective is to minimize defect and risk occurrences in software system. The third objective to generate a Software Test Report (STR) and last but not least is to improve UAT process by using software test management tool. Some of software deliverables have been used as references for this project which are Test Strategy, UAT Test Plan, and Test Case of Deposit module for ICBS and also a Defect Report. The outcome of this project will be a STR of Deposits module based on completion of test execution activity of Integrated Computerized Banking Solution (ICBS) modules in UAT cycle 1.1.
