0.3 PROCEDURE / ANALYSIS / DESIGN
0.3.1 The key areas to set up in the test environment of a given
project
• System and applications: : Ensure that the necessary system components such as
servers, databases, etc. are configured correctly.
• Test data: Prepare and populate the test environment with various datasets to
simulate real-world scenarios.
• Database server: Stores test data replicating the production database structure.
• Front-end running environment: Where the user interacts with the software
• Client operating system settings: Configurations on user machines to ensure com-
patibility.
• Browser: Software used to access the front-end application
• Hardware: Physical components like servers, network devices, and client ma-
chines.
• Server operating system: Software managing the server hardware and resources.
• Network: Infrastructure connecting various devices and facilitating communica-
tion.
0.3.2 The process for setting up of software test environment of
ATM System
• Define System Requirements: Analyze and document hardware, software, and
network specifications for the ATM system.
1
• Hardware Setup: Procure and configure necessary hardware components such as
ATMs, servers, and networking equipment to meet system requirements.
• Software Installation: Install compatible operating systems on ATMs and servers,
along with middleware and drivers required for ATM software functionality.
• ATM Application Installation: Deploy and configure the ATM application on
designated servers, ensuring alignment with test environment requirements.
• Database Configuration: Set up and configure the database server to support the
ATM application, including schema creation and data population.
• Test Data Preparation: Generate and insert diverse test data into the database to
simulate various scenarios, covering different account types, transactions, and
edge cases.
• Network Configuration: Establish communication protocols between ATMs, servers,
and central systems, ensuring seamless data exchange.
• Security Measures: Implement security controls including access controls, en-
cryption, and authentication mechanisms to protect the test environment.
• Front-End Setup: Ensure compatibility of the ATM application with different
ATM types, screen sizes, and input methods.
• Emulation of External Systems: Simulate external systems like banking networks
and payment processors to test end-to-end integration and communication.
• Documentation: Create comprehensive documentation detailing the test environ-
ment setup, configurations, and procedures for future reference.
• Training and Support: Provide training to the testing team on utilizing the test
environment effectively and establish a support system for issue resolution during
testing.
• Version Control: Implement version control for the ATM system application
and test data to track changes and facilitate rollback if necessary.
