Explain more about current project
CRS is Customer report system developed for ICICI Lombard.
This is more like credit checking agency.. Which evaluates all the demographically characteristics for the customers before being insured..
The check involves in the physical ,financial and social status of customer..
Identify risk and assess the risk and rank them….and based on risk score analysis and evaluation is being carried out.supplying reports to the ICICI.
There was an existing system but change is being required in risk scores and evaluation methods.
I was involved since from inception.
Design is being carried out in UML…We use to pick our requirements in UML and understanding the scope of our requirements…
The business analyst is from ICICI..we worked out workshops in requirements finalisation and signoff.
My test cases is being reviewed and signed off at client side.
We are following the arket update tools for configuration ,Test management and Defect management
We will kick start testing in next week..

development and Testing approach you followed
We are following the iterative model. For development…and Though it is narrated for V model testing
But actually we land up in functional testing at two levels. System testing and regression testing.

Explain Loan and Mortgage domain
Loan and Mortgage:
There are different types of loans:
1.Residential
2.Personal
3.Vehicle
4.Cash Loans on Mortgage.
Loan project deals about residential loans against mortgage
A typical Loan process starts with
a. Loan application (Set of screens)
b. Loan Processing ''
c. Loan disbursement
d. Loan Repayment
e. Recovery
You can say the whole application is planned for 8 iterations and you have tested two iterations so far which involves the phases (a and b).
Typical functionality covering a (Loan application) is Applicant details, Assigning address to customer, Loan product definition and classification.
In screen for Loan application all the details for the applicant will be given and extract address from the tables already supplied in database.
There is hierarchy (Legal region) in which this address has been supplied (These are also screens where you will give address and see if this has been kept in right format.). and also you have defined Loan product.
There are different properties you can set for Loan in screens. You need to test these as well.
1.General properties
2.Repayment
3.Loan cost
4.Loan discounts
5.Loan appraisal
and Functionality covering b( Loan processing ) is Application Process, verification of Mortgage,Credit checking, Enquiries.
So you can say i have tested the functionality for first two iterations on UI screens delivered in .JSP by writing the test cases well in advance.
by means of entering the data in screens, Verifying the data retrieved on screens, Navigation of screens and the business process screen was doing.
(Always testing can be done by this way only for any of domain screens. if screens is for Loan we will say Loan domain...if this is for Hospital we will say health care domain and if screens is for enterprise Management we will say EM Domain. )
For any system, Testing can be done by
1.Writing the test cases following the requirement documents on that system.
2. Test case Review and Sign off.
3.Test case execution on delivered code.
4.Defect logging and reporting.

Do u prepare test cases only with requirements.
There should be basis in preparing TC’s.
User requirements may in any of form BRD, Functional specifications, Use case or Non functional requirements.
User requirements may in any of form BRD, Functional specifications, Use case or Non functional requirements.
How to access the VSS. who give the access control.
Configuration manager will give admin rights to all the members of team and based on your access you can open the documents
