DESCRIPTION
The project which I worked is named “Credit Risk Reporting
System” a application used by a leading banking client that
outsourced to AgnosCo Technologies., This reporting system is
a software application that is used by backend operations of a
bank for comparing and validating the customers assets and
approve loans to them. To compare the percentage of APR that
can be given to them in order to avoid the risk to the bank.
CRR generally has two types of users based on their levels of
roles in the bank. One role has access only to certain types of
pages where the actions are read only access that are used for
data retrieval purpose. These users are naïve or low level users
and cannot perform and update or modify operations. The other
type of users are high level users where users can update the
customers data, delete outdated data or make corrections for the
4. existing customers records.
The various functionalities of the system are:
1. Provide two levels of user logins to restrict data access to all
users.
2. Users can generate credit report of the customers based on
monthly, yearly basis.
3. Users can compare the credit report status for different
months.
4. Update the customer’s information for the new records
included.
5. Add new customer’s data every end of the month that serves
as new records for next coming month.
6. Download functionality of each and every report. Users can
download the data table that they are viewing on the system into
different forms of files like excel, CSV etc and can be stored in
their system.
7. Users can feed the downloaded data from one application
system to another application system that are used for various
other purposes of the banking operation.
8. Similarly users can load the data that comes from external
file system.
9. Backend support team run batch jobs for loading new data
from external file system and updating the records.
10. Users can retrieve the reports in generics search criteria or
based on specific search criteria.
11. Users can filter the retrieved tables on column basis. They
can do exclusive filter by typing the required field at the top of
the column.
12. When a new customer is added a unique id is generated for
each and every customer that is used for various other
operations.
13. The users can drilldown further more into customer’s details
5. by clicking on the customer’s name or unique id. It opens
another customer’s details page which contains all the
customers’ information and his history records and transactions
that are done with the bank.
14. Call customers functionality where users can call the
customers directly from the phone that is linked to the system
for enquiry purpose. When users click on customer’s id to
generate their detail, there is a contact customer tab where all
the contact details are available. Users can call the customers by
clicking on call customer button.
Various business modules in the project are FACILITIES
MODULE:
Facility refers to the credit lines such as over drafts, debts,
loans, import and export lines,
etc. that are given to the customer by bank. Each facility has the
data related to the facility limit, utilized amount, available
amount and hold amount of each facility. Here users can see the
facility related data of each customer that are used for analyzing
the customers’ background data and approve loans. This
modules generates the reports related to facilities and users get
access to the data.
OBLIGOR MODULE:
Obligor refers to the customers debts, loans, payments,
borrowing or issuing bonds from another party. Each customer
data in obligor module is linked with external sources data and
it get compared with them. This module generates the reports
that are gathered from external data and compares with the
existing system data to release funds to the customers.
RELATIONSHIP MODULE:
Relationship module refers to the customers relationship history
with the bank i.e., timely payments of the debts, bills, loans etc.
6. This module generates the graph of customer’s percentage and
indicates good or bad customer in terms of payments. It varies
the customers based on color. Red for bad customer, Green for
good customer and yellow for average customers that needs
extra verifications.
EXCEPTION MODULE:
Exception module refers to the customers with exceptional cases
where their relationships are sent to external verifications and if
they are under accepted criteria their data is sent to exception
module. This module gets data from Relationship module and it
links with based on customer unique identification number.
4. JOB TASKS IN DETAIL
As a programmer analyst intern in AgnosCo Technologies., my
initial days of internship started with Knowledge Transfer
sessions which lasted for one week. Various sessions include:
· Project business flow sessions
· Technology grooming sessions
· Various teams interaction for collaborative tasks with them
· Business etiquette sessions
· Interaction with clients and other external stake holders
After one week of sessions they had a screening test which
assess my capability of completing tasks in the project. I have
to pass a tollgate interview with senior associates in the project.
Then I was assigned a workstation and I need to install the
required soft wares in the system and do initial project setup.
Need to order soft wares and tools from internal market place
and coordinate with technical support engineer staff and make
work done.
In AgnosCo Technologies., they use a JIRA software tool which
is a ticketing system that tracks the tasks of team. It is used by
managers to plan and track the activities assigned to various
team members. They can assign priorities to the tickets. I was
7. initially assigned a low priority tasks and with the help of other
team members I completed those tasks.
At the end of each and every week, we have a one to one
meeting with our supervisor where he asses the tasks done by
me in that week and they do a sanity check of the code I have
written. We usually have a two weeks of sprint cycle where first
week is for development and second week is for testing and
Quality Assurance team check. Any failed test cases are
corrected in second week and deploy for the release at end of
the second week.
I have to participate in the team meetings with clients and
gather requirements. I have to send Minutes of Meetings at the
end of each and every meeting to all the stake holders which
includes business users and technical team. I have to document
all the requirements and prepare a Software Requirement
Specification document and circulate the same with all the team
members.
I have to do manual testing of the User Interface of application
for validations, write test cases for the same. Any bugs found
need to be reported to respective team members in the
development team and make sure that they are fixed before dead
line and deployed in the UAT server for User Acceptance Test
done by business users of client.
5. TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES:
CRR (Credit Risk Reporting) application is built on Java J2EE
platform using Spring MVC architecture. I have used JDK 1.6
and higher version which is compatible for the application. The
other tools I used are Eclipse IDE, SVN repository plugin, Junit
plugin, SQL Developer tool.
Eclipse IDE:
8. Eclipse is an Integrated Development Environment tool that is
used for java development. I have to use Eclipse Kepler version
for the project which supports the necessary plugins required
for application development. I need to setup with environment
variables and JDK path to integrate with the existing java
version in their system. It has a workspace where I need to
import my code from repository tool and start development in it.
SVN repository:
SVN is a code repository tool that maintains the versioning
system of the code and backup purpose. All the existing
versions are present in it. I need to check out the latest version
and need to work on it.
Once my changes are done, I have to check in the code back to
the repository that are used by other team members for future
changes and enhancements.
Junit:
Junit is plugin integrated with the eclipse ide. For each and
every java class I have written, I need to write a test file for it.
Using Junit I have to test the file need to check in to the SVN
only if the tests are passed successfully.
SQL Developer:
SQL Developer is tool used for writing sql queries for oracle
backend. I need to setup tool with the server settings and save
them. Sql queries are used to retrieve data from Oracle server
which are used to display data in the application. It has the
facility to debug the queries easily and run dynamically to
check the results at one go.
JIRA tool:
9. JIRA tool is used for planning and tracking of the tasks
assigned. When I have joined in team an individual jira account
is created for me and at the start of every day I have to check it
for
the new tasks assigned to me and current ongoing of pending
tasks. It has the facility to prioritize the tasks and also to record
the percentage of the current tasks progress. Manager uses it for
future planning of the project tasks.
Apache Tomcat server:
Apache Tomcat is an open-source web server designed by the
Apache Software Foundation. Tomcat implements several Java
EE specifications including Java Servlet,Java Server
Pages (JSP, and provides a "pure Java" HTTPweb server
environment for Java code to run in.
It is used in the project for local deployment and testing of the
application before it is delivered to the actual server.
6. LEARNINGS DURING INTERNSHIP
· First and foremost thing I have learnt is how to work in a
team. Being a good team player is very important for IT
professional.
· Time management plays a key role in the life of a software
employee. Effective organizing and prioritizing of the tasks are
very important to meet the deadlines.
· Learned software development life cycle phases in practical
approach.
· Learned different coding stands that comprises the modularity,
scalability and reusability of the code.
· Learned how to implement MVC architecture and spring
framework. MVC architecture maintains modularity of the code
that separates the business logic from user interface and
backend operations.
10. · Learned how to write test cases for testing the application
· Improved skills in core java and advanced java topics, OOPS
concepts and generics.
· Learned implementation of google juice dependency injection
concepts.
· Learned the importance of understanding the business. It is
more important than technical knowledge.
· Learned code versioning control system using SVN.
· Learned sql query optimization using query tuning technique
that plays a key role in the process of data retrieving from the
database.7. APPLYING COURSE WORK TO INTERNSHIP
1. System Design and Analysis course that I have done during
my first and second semester helped me how to gather
requirements from clients and convert them into business logic.
How to organize team meetings and how to follow software
development life cycle. How to do estimate of time for the tasks
and how to prioritize them based on client requirements.
2. Databases course helped me how to write SQL queries, how
to do query optimization and how to reduce the time required to
retrieve the data. It helped me in understanding the ER diagram
which is the primary step in understanding the business logic.
3. Projects done during Databases course and System Design
and analysis course helped me in understanding various
terminologies and procedures followed in real time project.
4. Principles of Operating system course has thought me how to
implement multi- threading concepts at core business logics.8.
CHALLENGES FACED DURING INTERNSHIP
It would have better if I have done more learning on the
advanced java concepts like spring framework and MVC
architecture. Thought the concepts didn’t covered in my course
curriculum I have learned them with the help of resources
available over internet.
It’s been quite challenging to incorporate with the work
environment and to match the pace of working style of other
team members as I was new to the field.
11. During development phase I have not followed the coding
standards, which later I realized how important they are and
followed from then.
9. ACTIVITIES PROVIDED BY THE COMPANY
