TIP Test Center (Dovetail - ING)
TIP Test Center (Dovetail - ING)
Overview
TTC is a specialized framework that automates transactional testing in the Dovetail system, a Fiserv payment platform that handles real-time payment processing. The framework manages end-to-end transactional test automation for Dovetail payments and integrates with the ING Test Center (ITC) execution engine—a web application with a GUI for visualizing, executing, and managing test cases. It functions as a library using Selenium/Cucumber with regression test scenarios that run daily in the DEV5 test environment, verifying transaction accuracy across both incoming and outgoing processes. As an Automation Test Engineer, I designed and maintained these automated end-to-end regression tests, ensuring transaction accuracy across international branches.

Daily Regression in DEV5 Env
Challenge & Solution
The Challenge
ING's TIP Test Center ran around 400 end-to-end payment scenarios for the Dovetail platform on a legacy setup. A complete regression run, with its reporting, took several days, which slowed down every Dovetail release and every country rollout.
The Solution
Onboarded the 400 legacy scenarios onto the new TTC framework (Selenium, Cucumber and Java on the ING Test Center execution engine) and added 450 new ones, including FFV validations for EPP and non-EPP payment flows per country. Optimized the framework and its test data so the full suite runs daily in DEV5.
