Business and IT requirements
Audited projects need reproducible, documented testing. The validation file links requirements to executed scenarios, results and recorded defects.
Test datasets and validation documentation are project deliverables. Our SWIFT MT/MX, ISO 20022, EDIFACT and X12 scenarios include operational cases and incidents encountered by our teams.
Our services
- Test strategy and coverage designRequirement-to-case traceability, risk-based prioritisation, and an explicit statement of what is deliberately not covered.
- Reference test sets by protocolCurated message corpora for SWIFT MT/MX, ISO 20022, EDIFACT and X12, including the malformed and boundary cases that break mappings in production.
- Replay and pilot-mode environmentsProduction-like replay of real traffic in a pilot environment, so behaviour is observed rather than assumed before cut-over.
- Reconciliation and regression testingAutomated source-to-target comparison across the full record set, and a regression suite that survives the next release.
- Audit evidence packA structured dossier covering scope, cases, executions, deviations and sign-offs, written to be read by internal audit or a regulator, not only by the project team.
The dossier ties every requirement to an executed case and a result. Everything downstream inherits the error rate you signed off here.
Typical project needs
- A dated certification or scheme compliance window
- A migration or platform upgrade approaching cut-over
- An auditor or regulator asking for proof of control
- Recurring regressions after each release
- A first release that failed acceptance
Technologies and standards
- SWIFT MT / MX and ISO 20022 test sets
- EDIFACT and X12 corpora
- Replay environments
- Automated comparison tooling
- CI-integrated regression suites
Assessment and scoping
A 5 to 15 day assessment gives you a map of this scope, a gap analysis and a costed plan.
