As Guidewire Partner
of the Year for 2011,
Capgemini brings proven
experience and expertise
to test your Guidewire
applications.

After years of managing and maintaining complex, customized applications,

insurance companies are increasingly moving towards packaged applications for
their IT systems. The availability of flexible and scalable packaged solutions makes it
easier for insurers to buy the right system rather than build it.
To support the IT needs of our insurance customers, Capgemini has partnered with
Guidewire, a leading provider of modern core systems for property, casualty and
workers compensation insurance, to produce quality and risk management solutions.
As Guidewire Partner of the Year for 2011, Capgemini brings proven experience
and expertise to test your Guidewire applications. We have ready-made models
to test core business scenarios for PolicyCenter, BillingCenter and ClaimCenter.
These models can be used out of the box for testing claims, underwriting, policy
and billing systems. Additionally, Capgemini provides independent testing, postimplementation support, and ongoing maintenance for Guidewire products.

Why Model Based Testing?

6 Questions About
Your Testing Efforts
1. Will the methodology used
for build your own type
implementations work for
Guidewire?
2. Will my current testing scope
provide enough coverage to
address all business scenarios?
3. Do I need to test out of the
box functionalities? Or should I
only cover those aspects of the
applications that are changing?
4. Will I realize an ROI for my
investment in automation?
5. Is my current method of capturing
requirements working?
6. Are changes becoming more
difficult to manage?

Model based testing is a methodology and toolset designed to accelerate the

creation of test scripts. The tools let users describe the system under test using
process models which then automate the generation of test cases. With model
based testing, experienced testing professionals with domain knowledge can reduce
testing time for Guidewire by as much as 30%.
Capgeminis Model Based Testing Workbench for Guidewire can jump start your
testing efforts for PolicyCenter, ClaimsCenter and BillingCenter by providing pre-built
models. The models can be updated to match your Guidewire customizations so you
start with a strong base that ensures full test coverage and minimizes the time spent
on test design.

A Model Based Approach to Requirements

Requirements capture is an extensive, manual process involving subject matter
experts (SMEs), business analysts and key stakeholders. Capgeminis model based
testing approach helps business analysts model requirements visuallyreducing
the time to review and customize. Our tool also helps manage traceability between
business scenarios and outcomes of business scenarios to application transactions.
Once the base model is complete, test cases can be generated with the click
of a button. These test scenarios and test cases can be integrated with a test
management tool.

Capgeminis Automation Framework

Capgeminis Automation Framework, known as CAFE, offers a hybrid approach
to test execution automation. Developed based on our experience delivering client
engagements, CAFE provides clients with faster ROI and lowers test automation costs.
As part of the Guidewire Model Based Testing Workbench, we have automated
core functional areas for PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter and BillingCenter. CAFE has
over 100 reusable functions for common tasks such as reporting, failover execution,
dashboards and reports capture.

Test Data Optimization

Orthogonal Array Testing (OAT) is a strategy to reduce the number of test data
combinations for complex scenarios. It helps optimize test cases which reduces the
testing effort for a project. OAT lets users build rules into the tool for data selection
which is a proven method for validating rates and underwriting rules.

Financial Services the way we do it

Putting the Pieces Together

Capgeminis Model Based Testing Workbench for Guidewire is a collaborative
approach to testing. Business analysts work on readily available requirements
models using our model based tool. Changes are made to customized components
and business processes. Since the models are visual, they are easy to review and
update. Tool generated scenarios can be compared with the scenario repository to
identify gaps in requirements capture.
With one click, quality assurance analysts can then create test cases which are
integrated into a test management tool. Orthogonal array testing can be used
to validate test data combinations and arrive at an optimum set of test data for
the application.
Finally, CAFE helps insurers automate and leverage readily available function libraries
to create scripts.
