PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
1)Authentication Issues:
• Card Reader Failures: The system may face problems reading card information.
• PIN Verification Errors: Incorrect handling of PIN inputs could lead to user lockout or unauthorized
access.
2)Transaction Handling:
• Inconsistent Balance Updates: Balance might not get updated correctly after transactions (e.g.,
withdrawal, deposit).
• Multiple Transactions at Once: Concurrent access or multiple transactions in a networked environment
can lead to inconsistencies.
• Insufficient Funds Handling: Correct feedback mechanisms when balance is insufficient must be
ensured.
3)Security Concerns:
• Data Encryption Failures: Improper encryption of sensitive data (card details, PINs) during transmission.
• Unauthorized Access: Simulated attacks may reveal weaknesses in access controls or firewalls.
4)User Interface (UI) Problems:
• Poor Usability: Confusing UI/UX could frustrate users, e.g., poorly labeled buttons or error messages.
• Response Time Delays: Slow responses between user input (like entering a PIN) and the system's
actions.
5)Network and Connectivity Issues:
• Intermittent Connectivity: Network failure may prevent transactions from being processed or completed.
• Server Downtime: Simulating periods of unavailability might highlight weaknesses in contingency
mechanisms.
7)Database and Logging Errors:
• Transaction Logging Failures: Incomplete or inaccurate logging of transaction details, leading to
mismatches.
• Database Crashes: Failure in database connections or corruption, causing the system to stop functioning
correctly.
8)Failure Recovery and Backup:
• Lack of Failover Mechanism: If the system crashes, it might not have the proper mechanism to recover
without losing data.
• Transaction Reconciliation Problems: Recovering transactions after a failure or restart might not work as
expected.
OBJECTIVE
1)Testing and Development:
System Testing: To allow developers to test different components of ATM software, including authentication,
transaction handling, and error recovery, without using physical hardware.
Error Handling Simulation: To simulate real-world scenarios like network failure, insufficient funds, incorrect PIN
entries, etc., and ensure the ATM system handles these gracefully.
2)Training and Learning:
User Training: To familiarize users with the operation of ATMs in a risk-free, virtual environment, reducing errors in
real-world use.
Operator Training: To train bank employees or technical staff on handling operational issues, such as
troubleshooting, system crashes, or cash refill processes, through realistic simulations.
3) Error and Risk Mitigation:
Detecting Flaws Early: To identify potential design flaws, errors, and vulnerabilities in the ATM system during the
development phase, avoiding costly errors in the final product.
Simulating Failure Scenarios: To simulate system crashes, card jams, or dispenser malfunctions and measure
the system’s resilience in terms of recovery and user experience.
3)Data and Transaction Handling:
• Transaction Flow Testing: To test various transaction processes, including
withdrawals, deposits, balance inquiries, PIN changes, and funds transfers, to
ensure accuracy and smooth execution.
4)Enhancing Customer Experience:
• User Feedback Testing: To gather user feedback on simulated ATM systems to
further enhance functionality, user interface, and user experience in real-world
ATMs.
