Business challenges

Our client was going through a significant digital transformation effort across several of its core consumer and corporate facing business platforms; however, it quickly became clear that the demand for testing activities was greater than the capacity at hand. When the area in charge of digital banking began requesting testing services, our client chose to engage with an external partner to evolve its QA function for those projects.

1

Engage an external partner to support the QA function for its digital banking (mobile and web) projects.

2

Apply shift-left and DevOps principles to meet time to market demands with QA ingrained at every step.

3

Meet rapidly evolving regulatory, compliance, and audit requirements.

4

Identify defects before customers do.
