Development of a Methodology for Testing Software Products Implemented in Financial Organizations

As part of the refusal to use foreign software at significant critical information infrastructure facilities, Russian companies need to switch to domestic software by 2025 within the framework of compliance with the requirements of Presidential Decree No. 166 of 30.03.2022 "On measures to ensure technological independence and security of the critical information infrastructure of the Russian Federation". Legacy2Platform was initialized in Sberbank for the transition to its own and domestic solutions, within the framework of which the functionality for depositing and issuing cash in the Internal Structural Divisions of the Bank was transferred to a modern technology stack of its own solution, independent of vendor software. The TO BE cash deposit and withdrawal process surpasses the legacy solution not only technically, but also improves the business functionality of the target process. During the migration to the TO BE solution, the leading role was given to the automated system Sberbank Business Engine, developed from scratch, which was tested and released in early 2024. As part of testing the automated system, a testing methodology was developed that is applicable to testing other solutions of the Bank, which will standardize, reduce the volume and timing of testing new own solutions of banking products. The developed methodology for testing automated systems will make it possible to quickly abandon foreign vendor decisions and fulfill the goal of Decree No. 166 to abandon the use of foreign vendor software by the end of 2024.
