CHAPTER 2 2.0 ACCEPTANCE TESTING: 2.0.1 What is acceptance testing?

Acceptance testing is a final stage of testing that is performed on a system prior to the system being delivered to a live environment. Systems subjected to acceptance testing might include such deliverables as a software system or a mechanical hardware system. Acceptance tests are generally performed as "black box" tests. Black box testing means that the tester uses specified inputs into the system and verifies that the resulting outputs are correct, without knowledge of the system's internal workings. User acceptance testing (UAT), is the term used when the acceptance tests are performed by the person or persons who will be using the live system once it is delivered. If the system is being built or developed by an external supplier, this is sometimes called customer acceptance testing (CAT). The UAT or CAT acts as a final confirmation that the system is ready for go-live. A successful acceptance test at this stage may be a contractual requirement prior to the system being signed off by the client.

2.0.2 Advantage of acceptance testing

1.Reducing the cost of developing the application. Minimal savings that might occur in the early stages of the development cycle by delaying testing efforts are almost certainly bound to increase development costs later. 2. Ensuring that the application behaves exactly as expected. For the vast majority of programs, unpredictability is the least desirable consequence of using an application. 3. Reducing the total cost of ownership. By providing software that looks and behaves as shown in your documentation, your customers require fewer hours of training and less support from product experts. 4. Developing loyalty and word-of-mouth market share. Finding success with a program that offers the kind of quality that only thorough testing can provide is much easier than trying to build a customer base on buggy and defect-riddled code.

2.0.3 Where does Testing Fit In?

When a software developer writes code, it is common for mistakes to occur, such that requirements are not adequately implemented or they are forgotten. It is during this process that errors are introduced into the system. It is also possible that the business had not communicated their requirements correctly, or they could have insufficient details, which could result in a system working as designed, but not as expected. UAT tests are created to verify the systems behavior is consistent with the requirements. These

9|Page

tests will reveal defects within the system. The work associated with UAT begins after requirements are written and continues through the final stage of testing.

AUTOMATION OF ACCEPTANCE TEST USING FITNESSE TOOL 2.1 What is Fitnesse?

FitNesse is a software development collaboration tool Great software requires collaboration and communication. FitNesse is a tool for enhancing collaboration in software development.

FitNesse enables customers, testers, and programmers to learn what their software should do, and to automatically compare that to what it actually does do. It compares customers' expectations to actual results. It's an invaluable way to collaborate on complicated problems (and get them right) early in development.Fitnesse is a WIKI WEB SERVER.It is more like a wiki web GUI working on a test system(slim and fit).Acceptance tests are what Fitnesse is about. Fitnesse can be described in the terms of three major system: 1.Wiki Pages 2.Fixtures 3. Test System(slim and fit)

2.1.1 Wiki pages

FitNesse leverages the wiki mechanism. Wikis classically allow for the easy and rapid creation of HTML pages and particularly simplify the expression of tables. These qualities make the basic Wiki Wiki language an ideal choice for a "user interface" for FitNesse on the one hand it allows for the simple expression of very free-form tables, on the other hand it limits the contents of those tables to rather simple text. This means that the WikiWiki language can handle whatever shape of table is required for a particular test and at the same time limits the contents of those tables to alphanumeric text that can easily be mapped into a call to a piece of software. Finally, since each test in FitNesse is a wiki page it is possible to embed each testing table within wiki text; this allows a functional tester to include descriptive text with a reasonable layout quickly.

2.1.2 Fixtures
What is Fixture Code? The fixture is the Java (or some other supported language) class that Slim to process the contents of the table.

10 | P a g e

Fixtures are procedures/functions/classes usually written by developers.

They connect HTML table to the code.The code test the data inputted .

JdbcFixtures : A set of Fixtures that provide simple database access. FitLibrary : Home of the DoFixture, as well as many other helpful fixtures and add-ons. JfcFixtures A set of Fixtures to test through Swing GUIs . CommandLineFixture:This fixture launches commands as if they were run from a shell's command line input. ServiceFixture :This fixture library can be used to test service oriented or distributed systems. It also provides fixtures to access database.

2.1.3 Test system

Fitnesse works with the two Test Systems Slim and Fit. FIT is the older of the two, and uses HTML. The HTML parsing is done on the SUT just prior to the fixtures being called. This means that there is a lot of code on the SUT. Over the years many different ports of FIT have been attempted, but because FIT is large, and because programmers always have better ideas the second and third time they implement something, the various FIT ports are quite inconsistent. This means that tests written on one platform won't work on another.

11 | P a g e

Slim is newer. As the diagram shows, there is very code on the SUT. This is because all the table processing is done inside FitNesse, within the Slim runners. The Slim Executor and the fixtures are the only code that lives on the SUT. The Slim Executor is very small and easy to port. The Test pages are broken down into simple instructions by the Slim Runners. Those instructions are passed to the Slim Executor which directs the fixtures to call the SUT. This means that new features added to Slim Runners will not require changes on the Slim Executor, and that all test pages written for a Slim Runner will work on any different Slim platform.
2.2 The Advantages of FitNesse Tests

Fitnesse automated acceptance tests have several advantages over many kinds of traditional black-box, GUI-based functional tests: 1. Fitnesse tests can give us feature feedback very early in the project. In fact, the tests ought to be written first, so programmers can code to the tests. 2. Fitnesse tests can give us feature feedback very frequently. They can be run manually or automatically by anyone with web access to the server, as frequently as required. Every week, every day, every hour in a crunch. 3. Fitnesse tests are deterministic: they either run green or red. If they run green for a given requirement, either the requirement is done and we move on to others, or the set of tests is not yet exactly right, in which case we refine them. Either way, we are successively refining the system in an orderly way. With each new test running green, we can all see the system getting better, more valuable, closer to what we need. Being based on example data, Fitnesse tests exercise more paths through the business logic. When you use Fitnesse, you run less risk of missing important features or functional behavior.

2.3 Acceptance Tests vs. Unit Tests

xUnit Building the Code Right Automated unit tests (or programmer tests, as they are increasingly called), are white-box tests that describe and verify very low-level behavior. Especially when working test-first, programmers rely on such tests to make sure that the design is sound, and that there are no defects. Such tests are built by and largely for programmers, and can be independent of functionality. If a team using JUnit or NUnit to do Test-Driven Development is still hampered by a broken requirements process, they can easily end up building robust, lean, well-factored code with no business value. (This is, in fact, happening with increasing frequency.)

FitNesse: Building the Right Code FitNesse automated tests are about building the right code in the first place: the code with the most business value. While programmers may be involved in writing such tests, they are not just for programmers. FitNesse tests are especially for customers, business analysts, testing professionals, support staff, management, and all other stakeholders who need evidence that the project is producing solid return on investment.

2.4 Fitnesse test setup-Netting use case

Definition of Netting
In this method of reducing credit, settlement and other risks of financial contracts by aggregating (combining) two or more obligations to achieve a reduced net obligation. Netting rules a basic part of master agreements. Netting rules define precisely the netting of positions or claims between counter parties.

Benefits of Netting Netting potentially address four major risk in financial area, there are

Reduction of credit risk Reduction of settlement risk Reduction of liquidity risk Reduction of systemic risk

The Netting process occurs in a single transaction and includes: 1.Cancelling all the original trades 2.Booking a single trade with the netted amounts, into one of the trades books 3. IDTs are then created to move the risk from the netted risk book to the original books, this will ensure that there are no position movements on any of the trader books.

2.5 Fitnesse test setup-Splitting test case

In splitting ,the trader spreads their trades throughout the day. Rather than making a large trade,it splits its trade throughout day in order to benefit from the fluctuation in the market(favorable market situation). Splitting of trades is based on the Currency pair Counterparty id Trading date

2.6 Fitnesse test setup-Amending test case

In amending,the financials of trades are changed.Financials include trade date,amount traded ,counterparty etc.

CHAPTER 3 3.1 Conclusions

Towards the end of my internship at RBS , I would like to say that the target initially set up, was achieved to a good extent.This helped me a lot to build the zeal to learn more and to be highly precise and accurate in my working. The introduction to an official as well as industrial environment will definitely help me a lot in the future to work in a company concerning the IT field, to cope with the increasing competition in the market. This industrial training has helped me a lot to stand in the corporate world. The testing tool I worked on, is designed to ensure the flawless booking of the trades and Various allocation schemes associated with these trades. In retrospect, I would like to say that the company provided me with ample opportunities to learn and grow in all aspects. . I also have to stress that my colleagues at the
RBS contributed greatly to making my stay there a very enjoyable one I am sure my stint at RBS

would stand me in good stead in all my future endeavors.
