Thanks for the refresher, Heidi.

There is a client with a BIC that includes the branch. When sending the 11-character BIC, LINKZAJJRBR, to TIBCO they insert the 9^th character as X. The BIC is then actually 12 characters: <ns0:receiverBIC>LINKZAJJXRBR</ns0: receiverBIC

Is this a Swift standard that will change with…

What is a SWIFT code?

A banking Swift code is the standard format Bank Identifier Code (BIC) and is a unique identification code for a particular bank. Swift codes are used when transferring money and messages between banks. A Swift code consists of 8 or 11 characters.

Generally, when 8-digit codes are given, it refers to the primary office.

I attended Godjko’s Interactive Gherkin webinar last week, 31 August 2021.

Unfortunately, between blank examples and my knowledge gap, I got lost so I didn’t attend the 2^nd session.

I did grab a few tips on writing good SBEs:

1. keeping them short

2. obvious things are obvious to different people in different…

Derrick, “Intellimatch was successful’’ makes sense to me since I have a high-level understanding of the Swift [MT320 and MT940] technical process. I have the tools to check that TIBCO received an ACK back from Intellimatch and this concludes the technical process.

What I just realized right now is that business does not have these tools nor…

This comes from Jerome’s PowerUP – he is currently doing SbE for a confirmation of new trade. In that SbE was and Intellimatch was successful. The power of SbE is that it clarifies requirements – what the software must do. As such it is a tool to engage in conversations with business and developers. We started exploring ways of asking…

I’m thinking the same as Jerome. From testing days I always avoid AND / OR as they create complicated testing paths that overlook bugs. Coming up with a recipe – in Scenario 1 the AND lists actions or tasks. This is a simple path and is processed sequentially. In 3 and 5 the AND represents rules and multiple scenarios. Which means a…

Hi Marcus

Thanks for getting the ball rolling.

This reply is more about joining the activity on PeopleTech than about doing anything. As such it is a placeholder for designing the recipe for groups, what goes to what group, how do we manage shared interest and more. It also is about designing our growth path. This particular piece is relevant to the Executable Specification Course and BDD…

Gherkin Reference

Gherkin uses a set of special keywords to give structure and meaning to executable specifications. Each keyword is translated to many spoken languages; in this reference we’ll use English.

Most lines in a Gherkin document start with one of the keywords.

Comments are only permitted at the start of a new line, anywhere in the…

Hi Guy’s

This is the place to share your ideas on the ‘what’ and ‘how’ is the best way to move forward as a community.

Please feel free to contribute and/or comment on our journey?

Look out for the post on what are my thoughts?

Sibongile, this is a great start. Check 3 and 5 which are not in line with the standard and look like they could be separate scenarios.
