RRQ

Test Infrastructure — RRQ

October 2010 – March 2011

Development

RRQ was migrating systems off the central COBOL platform toward a .NET SOA intermediate platform. Building realistic test datasets from scratch was too risky: the approach was to copy existing data, then anonymize it without breaking consistency.

I joined the team building extract, transform, and reload jobs to produce those test cases.

Impact

  • ETL jobs to extract, anonymize, and reload RRQ data
  • Coherent test datasets to validate the intermediate platform
  • Lower data-breakage risk during the central-to-intermediate migration
