Developing a customized software engineering testing for Shared Banking Services (SBS) System

This paper presented the concept of developing a customized software testing process for software engineering in Shared Banking Services (SBS) System on one developed banking system in Malaysia. Software testing is one of the main activities in software development life cycle. This process consists of a few activities, which includes developing test plan and strategy, test design, test execution and evaluation of test result. However, a customized testing process is required for a specific domain in order to ensure the correctness and completeness of the test result. This project proposed a customized software testing process for Shared Banking Services (SBS) system and the study was conducted in order to identify the specific modules in SBS and its characteristics which differentiate it from other software applications. Besides that, two testing methodologies, which are RUP Test Discipline and Systematic Test and Evaluation Process (STEP), were compared based on criteria such as main activities, roles and responsibilities, artifacts and level of testing. The comparison result was then map to the characteristic of SBS to produce the proposed software testing process for SBS.
