Software testing services provider Exactpro has tested the Repurchase Agreement Market that was launched by Astana International Exchange (AIX).

To help increase the operational resilience of AIX’s Repo Market and provide information on its quality, Exactpro used th2 — a Kubernetes-driven microservices framework for functional and non-functional testing (NFT).

AIX’s mission is to develop the public equity and debt capital markets in Kazakhstan and the Central Asian region. The firm says that a cloud-native solution, equipped with a set of test method capabilities, was used to ensure a swift test execution and extensive test coverage.

The testing scope spanned the functional and NFT of the platform, including integration with the AIX CSD segment — powered by Avenir Technology — carrying out the settlement of repo trades.

The NFT included capacity and daily life cycle testing, which verifies the Repo Market’s reaction to short-term and prolonged increased transaction load injection.

The process also included scalability, stress and latency testing for order entry and market data streams.

Valerii Tsoi, chief information officer at AIX, says: “AIX boasts a trading infrastructure that investors from across Eurasia, as well as abroad, can benefit from in the safety of global regulatory compliance.

“We continuously expand our partner banks’ network and services portfolio, which leads to new technology challenges to solve.”

Pavel Medvedev, head of NFT at Exactpro, adds: “AIX uses forward-thinking approaches to deliver quality to their stakeholders. The importance of factoring in non-functional testing when it comes to building cloud infrastructures cannot be overestimated.

“By doing the testing, our team has made a valuable contribution to improving the resilience and scalability of the AWS-driven Repo Market. The complexity of a cloud-native architecture is not easy to match. Our team's domain expertise and reliance on th2 have made us well-equipped for achieving the goals set forward by AIX.”
