Project summary
The system consists of two major components:
- A web application for managing mobile operator data, such as tariff plans, discounts, bonuses, promotions, services types and cost.
- A component of data downloading into the external billing system according to business rules.
All editable information in the system is tied to:
- Regions: each region has its cost and connection conditions.
- Historicity: data cannot be deleted, it’s possible to “roll back” to the previous version or to cancel the changes.
- Projects: the user makes the data changes within the virtual project. As a result, changes are accumulated, grouped and applied together.
Telecom operator employees fill in all necessary information. After this the mechanism of data downloading into the external billing system according to business rules is started. Then, new tariff plans, services, and discounts are available for subscribers. The system interface is interactive, does not require page reloading. It is made on the basis of Single page application.
The responsibilities of JazzTeam developers included implementation of new features, refactoring, bug fixing, writing unit and integration tests, consulting the customer in order to improve the code and processes quality.
Technologies
Technologies: Java, Vaadin, Hibernate, JPA, Apache Tomcat, PostgreSQL, Oracle, JUnit, DBUnit, Git, Jira, Confluence, Bamboo CI, Selenium, Maven, Flyway (database migration tool).

- Creation of application business layer.
- Spring Framework implementation.
- And other, more scale focused project proposals.
- Code-style standards and code quality requirements were implemented.
- Unit testing was implemented.
- Data Driven Testing approach for functionality of data uploading was implemented, the test framework for rapid test cases automation was developed.
- DBUnit for quickly check of the database state during unit-testing.
- Thanks to the test coverage the data uploading component has become more stable.
Testimonial
Andrey Voynov, Head of Software Development, Nexign JSC (earlier Peter-Service Inc), Information Technology and Services
PS RnD, LLC herewith recommend software engineers of JazzTeam as highly skilled professionals.
We would like to underline that JazzTeam’s employees are well organised and with a positive ‘can-do’ attitude.
The staff of JazzTeam is always proactive in collaboration and ready to help with enhancing decisions. In particular, JazzTeam has initiated the implementation of a unified code-style and the increase of unit tests covering of the solution PSC.
Besides the development of the new features and code refactoring, JazzTeam’s specialists deployed a testing system with Data Driven Testing approach for the export component, and this significantly improved its operation.
We hope that our further cooperation will continue and be fruitful and productive.
We wish JazzTeam successful projects!
