PRODUCT








FUNCTIONAL







COMPATIBILITY

ENVIRONMENTAL

•Mapping Issues - Loan Product and Schemes

•In FIN 10 version, Buyer’s credit flow was incorrect as per Banks requirement

•Scheme Code searcher is not working in account opening menus(for CA, SA, Loan, FD)

 

•Asset Classification and Provisioning

•Testing of Reports in Bank format

•Report were not visible in HPR menu

•Old version data many a times create functional issue and become showstopper

 

•Unable to load Finacle Menus

•Fatal Run Time Error on some screen

 

•Sync issue between LOS and Finacle Core

•Data fetching issue due to interfaces

 

•Due to date sync issue between FINCRM &FINCORE we were unable to use migrated customer.

•Due to date sync issue between FINCORE & FININFRA we were unable to verify signature and photo upload data flow

•Manual run for EOD/EOM batch jobs

•Requirement GAP

•Delayed in delivery of functionalities

•Unable to generate Report for all menus

•User unable to perform closure, Modification which direct impact product delivery

•Screen Not working

•Screen Not working

•Unable to check LOS functionalities like credit check, BRE, etc.

•Data mismatch

•Unable to test on migrated Data

•Unable to test Signature Verification

•Unable to execute EOD/BOD related scenarios

•Re-configuration done by Bank team

•Based on our previous experience, we suggested workaround to use Guarantee module to issue Buyer’s credit

•This is product defect which is still under fix

•Classification and provisioning parameter re-defined & retested

•Since reports were not delivered as per bank format, to avoid delay in UAT round only report data is verified as part of testing.

•Configuration done by Infosys team

•Data migration testing to be done before start of UAT

•JAVA Version updated to latest version

•Patch Provided by Development team

•Created Loan accounts in Finacle

•All the existing interfaces to be connected and in sync with upgraded environment before start of testing.

•Created new customers with the same details as migrated to execute test cases

•Uploaded signatures to new customers to execute test cases related to SVS

•"To overcome this challenge, we executed batch jobs manually to execute EOD/BOD related scenarios  e.g. Interest Accruals, Capitalization, Locker Rent Recovery"
