SDLC – Dev/Test

App Dev/Test Constraints

• Time for test automation• System availability• Test data management• Limited capacity• High complexity

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.

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

Incorrect Freight Classification

Revenue

Classified as 50Sample rate = $47.9820 CWT x 47.98 = 959.60

Should be 500Sample rate = $409.3220 CWT x 409.32 = 8186.40

ODIP System Under Test ODIP System Dependencies

ODIP SDLC – Shifting Left

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.

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

ODIP Pilot Project Scorecard

Metric Pre Post Benefits

Service VirtualizationIntegration 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 TestingScenarios validated during development Low High • “Shift left” of testing

• Better code quality/lower bugs• Increased developer productivity• Released with confidencePhase in which all systems get tested SIT Development

Load and Performance TestingThroughput 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
