Our company participated in a CRM customization for a large telecom company. The volume of work on the project for only our part reached about 5 person years, while the scale of the entire system is dozens of person years. The work included a number of customization tasks for the UI and Amdocs Clarify CRM system backend, and its integration with the other customer’s systems applying SOAP web services and Enterprise Service Bus.
Integration and isolation unit tests were run for the developed functionality. Another task included covering GUI of frontend part with Jubula automated tests and running them in Jenkins continuous integration environment. To deal with the large number of users and to reduce the load on the server SQL and Oracle database were optimized.
