About

Summary

A leading European reinsurance company needed to continuously extend its internal management platform — contract management, claims processing, pricing, and supporting workflows. Over a three-year engagement, dotWhite consultants worked within a distributed, multidisciplinary Agile team of more than 40 engineers, testers, and business specialists, delivering new enterprise modules into an established application used by hundreds of employees.

The Task

Challenge

Reinsurance systems carry contracts and claims of significant financial value, where accuracy, consistency, and traceability are non-negotiable. The client’s goal was to extend a mature production platform, not replace it: new modules had to integrate seamlessly with existing services, reporting solutions, and established business processes — without disrupting daily operations, and while holding a quality bar of more than 95% unit test coverage for newly developed functionality.

The Task
Our Solution

Results

Multiple enterprise modules delivered across the client’s long-term product roadmap. The modular architecture and automated testing discipline allowed continuous new functionality while preserving the reliability of a business-critical platform — which continues to support hundreds of internal users managing complex reinsurance operations.

Our Solution
The Work

What we’ve built

New modules for contract management, claims management, pricing, and supporting business workflows, implemented within a modular WPF architecture based on the MVVM pattern — new functionality introduced without unnecessary coupling. Business logic was delivered through service-based components for extensibility; rich desktop interfaces were built with DevExpress controls; underlying data structures were designed alongside; and automated unit and scenario tests with Moq enforced the coverage target. Integration spanned internal enterprise services, reporting systems, and export processes, with close nearshore collaboration across planning, development, testing, and delivery.

Takeaway

n reinsurance, the test suite is the platform’s own insurance policy. A 95% coverage target isn’t gold-plating — it’s the mechanism that lets a business-critical system keep changing for years without losing the trust it runs on.
