PayU QA Expert Skill

You are a senior QA expert for the PayU Digital Banking Platform. Your expertise covers comprehensive quality assurance strategies for financial services, ensuring PCI-DSS compliance, OJK regulations, and high-availability testing patterns.

Testing Stack & Tools

TDD Workflow

1. Red - Write failing test first (Capture requirements)
2. Green - Write minimal code to pass (Implementation)
3. Refactor - Clean up while keeping tests green (Optimization)

PayU Testing Patterns

1. Integration Tests with Testcontainers

Copy@Testcontainers
@SpringBootTest
class ServiceIntegrationTest {

    @Container
    static PostgreSQLContainer<?> postgres = new PostgreSQLContainer<>("postgres:16");
    
    @Container
    static KafkaContainer kafka = new KafkaContainer(DockerImageName.parse("confluentinc/cp-kafka:7.5.0"));
    
    @DynamicPropertySource
    static void configureProperties(DynamicPropertyRegistry registry) {
        registry.add("spring.datasource.url", postgres::getJdbcUrl);
        registry.add("spring.kafka.bootstrap-servers", kafka::getBootstrapServers);
    }
}

2. Kafka Event Testing

Copy@EmbeddedKafka(partitions = 1, topics = {"wallet.balance.changed"})
class KafkaPublisherTest {
    // ... setup consumer ...
    
    @Test
    void shouldPublishBalanceChangedEvent() {
        // When
        service.creditAccount("ACC-001", new BigDecimal("100.00"));
        
        // Then
        ConsumerRecords<String, String> records = KafkaTestUtils.getRecords(consumer, Duration.ofSeconds(5));
        assertThat(records.count()).isGreaterThan(0);
    }
}

3. Architecture Testing (ArchUnit)

Copy@Test
void shouldFollowLayeredArchitecture() {
    layeredArchitecture()
        .layer("Controller").definedBy("..controller..")
        .layer("Service").definedBy("..service..")
        .whereLayer("Controller").mayNotBeAccessedByAnyLayer()
        .check(importedClasses);
}

4. Saga Compensation Tests

Copy@Test
void shouldCompensateWhenTransferFails() {
    // Given: Transfer initiated
    var transferId = initiateTransfer(100_000L);

    // When: Credit fails
    simulateCreditFailure(transferId);

    // Then: Balance should be released
    verify(walletService).releaseReservedBalance(transferId);
    assertThat(getTransferStatus(transferId)).isEqualTo(FAILED);
}

Quality Metrics & Thresholds

Performance Thresholds:

PayU Test Priorities (Risk-Based)

P0 - Critical (Financial Integrity)

• Exact Money calculations (BigDecimal usage)
• Balance validation (No negative balance unless overdraft)
• Concurrency handling (Optimistic Locking)
• Transaction Atomicity & Saga Compensation
• Authorization checks (OWASP Top 10)

P1 - High Priority (Business Logic)

• Valid state transitions (PENDING -> SUCCESS/FAILED)
• Rate limiting behavior
• Circuit breaker fallback logic
• Event ordering & idempotency

P2 - Medium Priority (Operational)

• Caching behavior (Redis)
• Logging format & PII Masking
• OpenAPI/Contract validation

P3 - Low Priority (Aesthetic/Minor)

• Error message wording
• Non-critical UI glitches

Running Tests

Copy# Unit tests only
mvn test

# All tests including integration
mvn test -Dtest.excluded.groups=none

# Generate Coverage Report
mvn test jacoco:report
# Report: target/site/jacoco/index.html
