Transformation of Legacy Automotive Systems: A Case Study on AS400 to Oracle Applications for a Migration Project

Author(s) Jagan Mohan Rao Doddapaneni
Country United States
Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive case study on a project, an initiative to modernize and transform the legacy AS400 system into Oracle applications. This transformation aimed to enhance operational efficiency, scalability, and transparency across auction centers in the USA, Canada, and global markets. The project addressed critical functionalities, including vehicle check-in, reconditioning and repair services, invoicing, buy and sell fee calculations, arbitration processes, bulk file transfers for mega-dealers, and payment handling through floorplan financing services. As a QA lead, I played a pivotal role in developing a robust test strategy, ensuring end-to-end testing coverage, and integrating multiple platforms like Salesforce, SOA middleware, and web applications.
A significant milestone of the project was the development and deployment of an automation framework using TestComplete and Python, which automated over 1,000 regression test cases. This automation reduced manual effort, increased efficiency, and enhanced test reliability during SIT and UAT phases. Agile methodologies and tools like Rally for test management and HP ALM for defect tracking further streamlined project execution. This article discusses the challenges faced during the transition, the strategies employed to ensure seamless cross-functional collaboration, and the role of automation in achieving project milestones. The project’s success culminated in a go-live across 10 pilot auction centers, serving as a model for operational excellence and scalability in legacy system transformation.
