10. SDLC – Dev/Test

11. App Dev/Test Constraints
• Time for test automation
• System availability
• Test data management
• Limited capacity
• High complexity

12. Pilot Project Use Case
• On-demand inspection planning (ODIP)
• Shippers often incorrectly classify shipments resulting in
revenue loss for Con-way.
• ODIP solution will predict which shipments are most likely to
be misclassified and yield additional revenue.

13. Classifying Freight
Freight classification
• 18 freight classes
• Weight
• Length
• Height
• Density
• Ease of handling
• Value
• Liability from theft,
damage, break-ability
or spoilage.
Freight class 50
Freight class 500

14. Incorrect Freight Classification
Classified as 50
Sample rate = $47.98
20 CWT x 47.98 = 959.60
Should be 500
Sample rate = $409.32
20 CWT x 409.32 = 8186.40
2000 lb. Shipment
20 CWT (hundredweight)
7226.80

18. ODIP SDLC – Shifting Left

19. CA Application Test for ODIP
• Unit testing TIBCO and Java Services
• Integ. testing TIBCO BE w/ virtual services
• Perf. testing TIBCO BE w/ virtual services
• Perf. testing critical components w/ live sys
• Virtual services uses custom framework
• Setup scenarios on-demand/state mgmt.

24. ODIP Performance Test with VS

25. Benefits
 Saved two months of development/testing
 Reduced complexity for development/testing
 Identifying and fixing bugs became easier
 Provided high-availability for constrained services
 Achieved component level performance testing
 Eliminated capacity constraints for performance testing
 Identified performance issues earlier in SDLC
 Repeated performance test several times
 Reusable virtual services for other projects

26. ODIP Pilot Project Scorecard
Metric Pre Post Benefits
Service Virtualization
Integration test system availability Low High • Direct dependencies are virtualized provided
very high system uptime
• Test data scenarios were setup in spreadsheets
and Oracle DB improving coverage and
accuracy.
Integration test data coverage and accuracy Low High
Integration Testing
Scenarios validated during development Low High • “Shift left” of testing
• Better code quality/lower bugs
• Increased developer productivity
• Released with confidence
Phase in which all systems get tested SIT Development
Load and Performance Testing
Throughput achieved 100 bills/hour 50,000 bills/hour • Performance issues identified during
development phase
• Cost savings in resolving issues identified
earlier in cycle
• Ability to test through various load scenarios
• Ability to test performance at a component level
Number of cycles executed 1 10/on-demand
Number of issues identified Small Large
