Testing

Testing represents a significant proportion of project costs.

This makes efficient testing a critical success factor, ensuring high quality, and cost-effective implementations and upgrades. The main challenges in testing are cost inefficiency, decentralisation, and limited coordination of the company’s testing framework.

Getting the right solution in place can have a significant impact on overall IT cost reduction.

Fentexa have a wealth experience across all aspects of trading technology testing and test automation. From helping clients choose which platform is right for them (be it vendor-specific, or an industry recognised full end to end test automation platform) to full implementations and the creation and management of a new test strategy.

Here are some of the areas we can help.

Fitting into your corporate standards

  • Working with our clients for a common goal; we can ‘dovetail’ into your existing project stream
  • From UNIT/component testing to full end-to-end SIT or UAT we can help
  • Provision of testing resources, generation of test strategies, production of test cases to complete test function ownership

Bringing our own experiences

  • Management of testing complexity and breaking down the usual blockers
  • Our teams have worked together on several trading system implementations with one goal which is implementation success

Lessons learnt from successful implementation

  • Share knowledge from successful testing programs
  • Make recommendations on the best industry practices and advise what works best

Managing complexity

  • Testing programmes whether employing ‘parallel’, ‘full end-to-end’ or ‘touchpoint’ as test approaches, we have worked with all these (and some hybrid ones too). We understand the levels of complexity here and can help to both resolve and mitigate the risks
  • We can bring clarity, breakdown the complexity, manage the risks, and help with whatever tasks the client is challenged with
  • Put us to the test?
