Client Overview

One of the largest universal banks in APAC serves millions of customers through comprehensive financial services, including corporate banking, retail banking, and loan management. Operating in a highly regulated environment, the bank maintains strict compliance requirements while delivering seamless digital experiences to its diverse customer base.

As a leading financial institution in Asia, the bank recognized the critical need to modernize its core banking systems to remain competitive and meet evolving customer expectations in the digital age.

Engagement Overview

The bank embarked on a critical digital transformation journey involving three core systems: the Loan Origination System (LOS), the Loan Management System (LMS), and the Corporate Internet Banking (CIB) system. This transformation aimed to move away from disparate systems to a more integrated approach, enabling full digitization and reducing branch foot traffic, which ultimately resulted in a superior customer experience.

QualityKiosk partnered with the bank as their Managed Services Quality Assurance provider, delivering comprehensive testing solutions across all three transformation programs to ensure seamless migration and optimal system performance throughout their modernization journey.

Business Challenges

Lack of Test Coverage Visibility

Difficulty in defining and ensuring comprehensive coverage led to uncertainty and potential validation gaps.

Absence of Test Automation

Without automation, regression testing was inefficient and slowed development cycles.

Insufficient Performance Testing

Limited performance coverage left applications inadequately assessed under varying load conditions.

Limited Test Case Reusability

The client needed reusable test cases to improve efficiency and reduce redundancy across projects.

Unavailability of Business Users

Time-constrained business users couldn’t thoroughly test applications, causing coverage gaps and delaying go-live timelines.
