MVP Development of Money Transfer System Client Apps

Test automation & uber-detailed doc package development

Client and business goal

The client engaged AIS Novations to help them update the mobile client app for their money transfer system based on blockchain. We started with code refactoring to fix bugs in the older app version. The cooperation continued when the client decided to create a new MVP of mobile and web apps. The goal was to ensure quicker data reconciliation, batching, collection, and storage among others.

Challenge

The critical requirement to the mobile app was to ensure:

Secure encryption with personal data remaining confidential during transactions.
Load time within four seconds when a stable internet connection is available.

Solution

We used React Native to develop a cross-platform app, while React.js was used to build an engaging and high-performance UI layer. We also performed face-lifting of the web-portal and provided step-by-step documentation for test automation. The mobile app MVP features the following improvements:

All notifications are located in one place: operations, new receipts, payment requests, and promotional offers.
Full-text search delivers matches from all app modules, including operations, transaction history, etc.
The payment request form has prefilled-in fields.
Important messages are highlighted to draw immediate attention.

QA Highlights

Pre-launch phase and early development phase were devoted to standard early system testing procedures - checklists and user stories creation, smoke tests and regression tests.
Cross platform manual testing during the active development phase allowed our development team to perform outstanding face-lifting job for an old-school web portal.

As the client was getting ready for test automation, we prepared more detailed documentation package including:

Acceptance checklists. Those are prepared in the early active development phase when core functionality can be evaluated and a detailed plan exists as to what functionality will be developed.
Test reports. Prepared by the PM for manual testing projects or generated by the QA team for the AT projects.
Known issues weekly report. KIWR contains all the bugs found in the software under testing broken down by major, trivial, critical, and blockers. For a project without AT, KIWR also serves as the statistical input for a client.
