About the Client
Our client is a renowned Swiss e-banking solutions provider, catering to multiple banks with a highly customizable digital banking platform. Over an 18-year partnership, we have played a crucial role in supporting the evolution of their e-banking system. The solution has continuously evolved to meet the changing demands of financial institutions, integrating new service models, technologies, and additional solutions to enhance its functionality and adaptability.
The Challenge
The client relied on 15 manual testers, causing delays, high costs, and inconsistent results. Testing bottlenecks slowed releases and increased defect risks. The company needed a scalable, efficient solution to enhance software quality and speed up delivery.
The Solution
To overcome these challenges, we integrated test automation into their CI/CD pipeline, significantly reducing testing time and ensuring faster feedback cycles. By implementing a Shift Left Testing Approach, we introduced automation early in the development cycle, allowing issues to be detected sooner and minimizing regression bugs.
We expanded test coverage, ensuring continuous validation of critical functionalities and improving overall reliability. Automated execution eliminated human errors, creating consistent, repeatable results that enhanced software stability. Additionally, we optimized resource allocation by freeing up engineering teams from repetitive manual testing, enabling them to focus on strategic initiatives and innovation.
To further enhance efficiency, we implemented parallel testing, enabling multiple test cases to run simultaneously and reducing overall execution time. This strategic shift ensured that as the client's software ecosystem evolved, their testing framework remained scalable and cost-efficient while delivering a strong ROI and reinforcing their fintech market leadership.
Our Approach to Test Automation
Our expertise in functional testing for web and mobile applications allowed us to implement an optimized automation framework. Utilizing Selenium with Java, integrated with TestNG and Jenkins, we established a seamless continuous integration process.
