The challenge
Development of payment processing services to comply with the new versions of payment protocols with swipe/chip cards, contactless payments on Fuel Point of Service. Moving on new libraries and frameworks, improving the continuous integration and unit testing.
What we did
- Moved our applications and libraries to the second phase of CI/CD strategic upgrade plan.
- Multiple bugs fixed, mainly on the server-side (AXIS) with occasional fixes in the embedded terminals (C3).
- Improved unit test coverage from 3% to 33%.
- Moved all codebase to C++ 14.
- Cleaned up 2 applications from compilation warnings (several thousands of warnings fixed).
- Adopted unit test setup to use (and therefore test) production like liquibase migrations.
- Upgraded several applications to use new advice framework for processing of payment advice.
- Introduced tool for checking coding style according to company rules.
- Improved codebase by making several refactorings.
- Working on dockerization of AXIS application (closely following latest AXIS architectural novelties).
Effect
Three of the applications are in the process of releasing a new version. Unit test coverage already does its job – some errors are discovered at the build stage, and QA goes more seamlessly.
