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 the 13th floor to the designated assembly point beside the office building, definitely a great Monday morning workout to fight off the Monday blues. After lunch, I worked on my weekly team meeting slides in preparation for the 4 pm meeting.

Challenges & Solutions

There were no major challenges today, as I enjoyed working on the UAT and the overall workload was quite manageable.

Key Learnings & Skills Gained

I learned how to conduct UAT in greater depth compared to when I assisted Eric last week. iFAST Pay has more features to test, so I paid closer attention to details, focusing on issues that others might have overlooked or failed to notice.

I was also introduced to another project management tool, Jira, which I found very helpful for cross-team collaboration. It allows everyone to stay aligned, with tasks clearly delegated and progress easily tracked, helping to reduce human error and miscommunication. 

Reflection & Next Steps

I will continue working on the UAT and retest the issues I have raised before, to ensure that they are completely resolved and ready to go live.

Day 1: Getting Started at iFAST!

🗓️ Date:   6 Oct 2025 📌 Title:  Getting started at iFAST! Task Description Today marked my first day of internship at the company. The day began with a newcomer briefing where I was introduced to the company, its structure, rules, and employee benefits by 3 HR staffs.

Before getting assigned to my desk, I was given a work laptop and asked to set it up, which included configuring my Outlook email, accessing the company intranet, and setting up iFast chat for communication.

Day 6: Monday Chaos!

🗓️  Date:  13  Oct 2025 📌 Title:  Monday Chaos! Task Description In my second week of internship, I continued working on the  Fixed Deposit (FD)  and  Notice Deposit (ND)  UI enhancement project. My supervisor had provided several  comments and suggestions  based on last week’s progress, so my main task was to  review, refine, and amend the designs accordingly . The goal was to improve layout consistency, alignment, and overall visual clarity to ensure a more polished and user-friendly interface. During the week, our team also held a  weekly meeting  to update one another on current tasks and project timelines.

Day 41: Brainstorming and Braincracking

  🗓️  Date:  29 Nov  2025 📌 Title:  Brainstorming and Braincracking Task Description I started the day by discussing the recent Cash ISA meeting outcomes with another IT team member who was on leave, updating him on the latest requirement changes. Following that, I brainstormed together with him and my SV on the new flow for Cash ISA Transfer-In, now that partial transfers also need to be supported. Initially, I was expecting Joanna to send over the updated flow for this change, but since it hadn’t come through, we decided not to wait and risk delaying the project timeline. Instead, we proactively moved forward by coming up with a proposed new flow ourselves. Given the uncertainty, we chose to create a wireframe in FigJam rather than jumping straight into high-fidelity mockups, as we wanted to avoid double work if changes were still needed. We then scheduled a meeting with Joanna at 6 PM to walk her through the proposed flow first, before presenting anything t...
