Overview
The client is a leading bank with a solid online presence, serving millions of customers worldwide and looking for help in testing. They offer various services, including online banking, mobile banking, and different financial products.
The Challenge
The bank needed help with its testing processes. The existing system could have been faster and more efficient, taking up to 10 hours to complete a single regression suite. The process was causing delays in releasing new features and updates, impacting customer satisfaction and competitive edge.
The Solution
Our service offered a comprehensive solution to optimize the bank’s testing process. By implementing parallel testing and optimizing test scripts, we significantly reduced the time taken for each test.
The Results
Time Savings
The bank’s implementation of new testing procedures led to a remarkable reduction in testing time. The duration for specific tests was cut down from 10 to only 1.8 hours, representing a significant time saving of over 80%.
Rapid Feedback
This drastic decrease in testing time enabled the bank to receive feedback more quickly. Accelerated feedback loops are crucial for identifying and addressing issues sooner, leading to more agile and responsive development practices.
Comprehensive Coverage
With the newfound efficiency, the bank could likely conduct more extensive testing within the same timeframe. The new process implies a broader coverage in their testing procedures, ensuring more aspects of their online services are validated.
Increased Confidence
The speed and thoroughness of the testing likely bolstered confidence in the reliability and performance of the bank’s online services, both internally among staff and externally among customers.
