PROJECTS
1. Mutual Fund {Current Project}
Client IFDS
Duration Nov 2014 – Till Date
Tools HP ALM, Service Now
Databases Progress DB
Operating Systems Windows 7, Linux
Team of QA was set up by cognizant to test the various products of IFDS which has different
applications like iFAST Base, iFAST Desktop, Web Plus, etc. Different applications have different
level of access and differ in the functionality of accessing the data.
IFDS is a data management company for the various Mutual fund companies across the globe,
which provides solution to fund companies to enter their data through the various applications.
More details about the project can’t be shared due to client’s security policies.
For each new project I am required to first gather requirement from the client. Review the
Business requirement documents and brainstorm with other team mates on the requirement.
There after I along with my team derive the test scenarios and design the test cases for the
project and after the execution the software is sent to the client.
The project is composed of following modules.
2 | P a g e
• Segfund: Fund supported by few clients and have flavor of Mutual fund and Insurance.
Have amount guaranteed on maturity or death.
• Reports: Some sites need customized and new reports for daily transactions. Allthe
repors and the statements generated after a particular period are enhanced and verified
accordingly.
• FundServ and WebPlus: 2 GUI models of IFDS products.
• Transaction Processing: This supports transaction processing requirements. All the
trades and the fees charged for the trades are verified.
2. RBT
Client Huawei
Duration May 2011 – Oct 2014
Technologies VXML, USDP , RBT, Uniportal , SQL ,Watchdog,
Apache
Tools PL-SQL Developer, VSS 6.0, GTR, TMSS,
Webscrab, WAS, SQL Developer, Appscan
Databases Oracle 9i, 11G
Operating Systems Windows XP SP2 , Linux
Client has come up with an operation development center in cognizant. The project deals with
developing software applications to support RBT through WEB, WAP, IVR, and SMS .Technology
wise the project is primarily based on Java & J2EE, further it uses javascript, ajax, jquery for
different modules.
We were working a client site i.e. Huawei office and my role was majorly of a tester. I was
involved in a team of 10-15 associates. The project involves development and support of the
application to various clients primarily Kenya Safari, Morocco WANA , Thailand TrueMove ,
Egypt Mobinil, South Africa , Ghana MTN e.t.c . More details about the project can’t be shared
due to client’s security policies.
For each new project I used to first gather requirement from the client and freeze the timeline
based upon size, then design SD review the SD and brainstorm with other team mates on the
requirement. There after I along with my team design test scenarios and test cases for the
project and send it to the client after different testing cycles. Finally it was deployed on the live
site.
The project was composed of following modules.
• WEB: It includes ADMIN, USER, SP, CS modules. These are web based modules. They
have browser based UI.
• Express Copy: It is non-UI. This is totally composed of threads and tasks supported by
DB Procedures.
• SMS: This is also a Non-UI based and ‘end user’ can perform various operations by
sending SMS through his cell phone.
• WAP: This supports mobile navigation to the portal.
