Combination of waterfall and agile project methodology.
Unorthodox testing methodology.
Project scope and targets
The main scope was to upgrade the old version of Murex (2.11) to the up-to-date version (3.1.42) based on the as-is functionalities.
The main target was to get rid of the previous version which contained serious DB, app. server and OS system vulnerabilities within the shortest possible time.
However meanwhile it turned out that due to the huge differences between the old and new versions, the project is rather to be considered as a new system implementation.
The new version offers more automated and updated solutions bringing added value to the business.
