Situation Challenge
A leading Operating System vendor with a growing number of OS Core API considered “already stable”, but increasing number of
services dependant services eroding confidence
Increasing number of services leveraging core API library of the System needed enhanced security, performance and
Operating System functionality testing mechanism
• Core API in the critical path for each OS release, further delaying
multiple individual projects

Harbinger Solution
Deriving valid and invalid data for API parameters by subjecting API to parameterized analysis through equivalence class and boundary values
Innovative elimination strategies to reduce the exploding number of parameter combinations
White box analysis phase to ensure that all possible code execution paths are covered
Execution phase included writing a data-driven test harness to abstract test data from API and API from result validation

Benefits BOTTOM LINE

Excellent set of methodically derived test cases for security, performance and Company growing its Operating System services
functionality testing backed by a robust testing mechanism in
Test harness separates out dependencies between different teams and projects place for its core API
Significant improvement in development and release speed of services
Core API library being built and tested independently and without being slave to
uncertainties around future of OS services
