Common use of Test System for Testing System Changes Clause in Contracts

Test System for Testing System Changes. At first, system changes made by SIX shall be tested on internal test systems of SIX and then transferred to the external test system (XE/P level). From this moment on, the system changes shall be made available to all external systems for testing. This phase shall usually last between two and four weeks. The aim of these tests shall be to ensure backward compatibility. This phase shall serve as an opportunity not only for the participants to test the new functions but also for SIX to check the connections to the participants and to ensure interaction with all external systems. This is why tests with the platform as the test object shall also take place in this phase on the test system (XE/P level). Once this phase is completed, changes shall be implemented on the production system (P level), as a result of which the test system (XP level) shall be the reference system of the production again. In this short phase, there shall be differences between these two system lines, which may have an impact on the planned tests of the participants. In the test system, the tests shall be carried out using synthetic or anonymized data. In particular, no genuine bank customer identifying data shall be collected, processed or stored. Mass tests on the test system are possible; however, they shall be subject to prior consultation with SIX in order to create analysis conditions necessary for that purpose (e.g. no simultaneous load tests of several participants).
