Day 80: Tasks incoming

🗓️  Date:  28 Jan  2026 📌 Title:Tasks incoming Task Description We are halfway through the week already. Today I had a meeting at 10am with the business support executive from Singapore to go through the feedback on Business Banking Web Revamp project. We only managed to go through Commercial Banking first cause Transaction Banking is still pending review from their team. There were several amendments to make, like changing all pig related content like piggy banks to something else due to religion concerns, changing static graphics to animated graphics, and some content wordings.  Yesterday, I confirmed with the digital marketing manager that the Scan & Pay beta launch project is ready for development. So i had a meeting with one of the IT team members to brief her on the mockup around 11am. This is to clarify any confusion on the mockup and ensure that everything is correct before development.  Challenges & Solutions The past few days have been pretty...

Day 76: First experience with UAT

🗓️  Date:  23 Jan  2026 📌 Title: First experience with UAT Task Description I was completing the rest of the refinements of Payroll Credit Backoffice that I didn't manage to finish yesterday. By noon, I finished all my tasks given by my SV. The Payroll Credit Backoffice, Scan & Pay, Business Banking Web Revamp are now pending review. So, I updated my daily logbook to not waste time and be idle. A colleague asked to help him with UAT for IGP and IFA, which they provided an excel sheet on what to test (test steps) and test account login credentials. My task was to follow the test steps and check if all displayed info are correct, and to see if there are any UI issue on the website and mobile web. Both IFA and IGP have almost the same interface, just different brand colours. If I've found any issue, I can raise it in another slide sheet they provided. During the UAT, I found issues like inconsistent font size, wrong rounded tip. I screenshotted the UAT version and the ...

Day 79: UAT = Spot the Difference game

🗓️  Date:  27 Jan  2026 📌 Title: UAT = Spot the Difference game Task Description I continued working on iFAST Pay UAT and identified additional UI-related issues. These included an incorrect colour theme being applied to the drawers in the Cards module, which should have been in light mode. I also noticed that the font used in the UAT version did not match the mockup. I informed my supervisor about these issues for further action. Challenges & Solutions There were no major challenges today. I made an effort to keep myself busy, as I dislike being idle and wasting time. Whenever I ran out of tasks, I worked on updating my daily logbook, which is what I am doing now.

Through this process, I learned how to conduct UAT in a more systematic manner. First, I skim through the entire page to review the content, as it is usually correct and fr...

Day 78: iFAST Pay UAT

  🗓️  Date:  26 Jan  2026 📌 Title: iFAST Pay UAT Task Description I spent almost the entire day working on iFAST Pay UAT. This involved testing the app on our test device by going through each flow step by step to ensure all functions were working properly. At the same time, I reviewed the UI to check whether it matched the mockups. Any issues or concerns I identified were reported in Jira, our project management tool, where the IT team and other testers can view and take action on them. I discovered several UI-related issues, including incorrect padding, inconsistent font sizes, improper spacing between elements, and the use of incorrect icon libraries. For each issue logged in Jira, I created a new board and included details such as the title, description, tester name, and date. I also used a comparison table to display the UAT and mockup versions side by side for clearer reference. Before lunch, we had a fire drill, so everyone had to walk down the stairs from...
