I am recently working on the FX Option STP (Straight Through Processing) testing.
It's an nightmare because we don't have the automation testing tool on hand.
We have to input trades from the front end and make sure the trades could be processed inside our system and book into our downstream correctly.
Here are some idea that we could do to improve the productivity and prevent the human error from happening.
1. Similar the human action to input trades from front end
2. Mark down the trade ID that we book into our system
3. Verify the data in our system with the trade booked from front end
4. Retrieve the trades from downstream and compare the one with our system.
