GLOBALLY DISTRIBUTED TESTING FOR INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL SYSTEMS
Both complex financial systems and the talent needed to test them have grown to span the globe. This leads to unprecedented management and technical problems to test system quality. Beyond a discussion about managing offshore test groups, we are interested in exploring how distributed test teams help (or hinder) the testing of software that support global financial markets.
If you have experiences to share about any of the following, we’d like to hear from you:
- Testing of financial systems such as:
- International trading or banking systems
- Foreign eXchange/Currency conversion systems
- International money transfer systems
- Global securities pricing, investment modeling, and risk analysis
- Dealing with timezone issues: Both a software problem, and a management problem
- End of Day processing: When is it? Where is it?
- Managing or working on a distributed test team
- Exploratory testing/Peer testing in a distributed environment
- Global test automation
- Cultural dimensions and working with stakeholders of different cultural backgrounds
- Technologies to aid remote testing, remote test management, and team communication
