The Finance, Treasury, Liquidity, Capital, and Risk functions at Citi are consumers of a vast amount of data that spans across the entirety of the firm, cutting across all lines of business, asset classes, and geographies. To meet the needs of these functions, a large, centralized data platform has been developed to enable the acquisition of data from all appropriate sources across the firm, the normalization of data to make it consistent and consumable, the management of data to ensure its complete and accurate, and the distribution of data to the consuming functions that require it. The scale of data that flows through this platform is significant, with thousands of inbound feeds being managed daily, dozens of consuming applications, and a 100+ terabyte data store in the middle. While there have been efforts made to automate integration and regression testing, we need to substantially increase our investment in both automated testing tools and driving a test-first mindset in our requirement management and engineering practices.
