| The customer
offers an electronic platform for trading bonds.
This platform is used by more than 500 investment
firms, e.g., ABN Amro, Banc of America Securities,
Barclays PLC, Bear Stearns, etc. In the process
of releasing a new version of the product, the
customer was faced with the challenge of inadequate
resources to enhance and test the product.
AppLabs put a team together that provided functional
and regression testing capabilities to the customer.
Testing involved executing complex trading scenarios
that included multi-dealer inquiry, offer, counter-offer
and final sales transactions. Our team simulated
a real-time trading environment, looking at issues
that could be faced by dealers using the system.
The engagement leveraged the time zone difference
by creating a 24-hour development and testing
cycle to deliver a fully tested mission-critical
product on time and within budget.
