Three pillars of testing
To support the market with adoption, and also to give confidence in the new digital solutions, Velonetic has put a comprehensive testing framework in place that will run alongside the build through three test pillars:
Vanguard
Early connectivity, functionality and end-to-end business scenario testing with early adopters group.
Co-ordinated
Testing all end-to-end processes, defined by Velonetic and LIMOSS.
Enhanced
Testing of scenarios tailored to customer requirements, supported by Velonetic.
Testing framework
On the 25th of March 2024, we published the comprehensive overview of the testing framework for Blueprint Two. The intent is to provide a baseline explanation and understanding of the multi-layered testing framework, and its linkage through to vanguard and customer testing. For completeness, we have also included content on vendor testing and availability of the bespoke messaging formats.
We've included a summary of the testing results to date, and an explanation of the defect management process. We intend to update and republish this area of the deck every two to four weeks to ensure transparency and accessibility of the testing process to all market participants.
Vanguard testing
The Vanguard group has been set up to test real world implementations of the new digital services ahead of wider adoption, and has three main objectives.
Provide confidence through testing business scenarios with market participants
Identify best practice across onboarding, internal operations (etc.) for phases one and two
Provide a platform to refine training content and approach

Testing reports:
We want to ensure we keep you updated with how Vanguard testing is progressing. At the market event on the 25th of February, we announced that we are committed to Vanguard and are resetting the programme. We will continue to report the progress of Vanguard alongside testing on a regular basis moving forward.
Testing reports will be provided every two weeks and are only available to be accessed via the virtual data room.
