Financial Services Test Automation

Accelerating Financial Services Testing with Tosca Automation 

Share now

Executive Summary

To overcome inefficiencies in financial services testing, a custom Tosca test automation solution was implemented. This enabled the organization to automate regression testing, accelerate release cycles, and improve test coverage. By shifting from manual regression testing to Tricentis scriptless automation, the client streamlined processes, enhanced defect detection, and achieved a significant reduction in production defects. This case study showcases how modern test automation frameworks improve end-to-end testing, leading to faster test cycles and increased confidence in release decisions.

Business Challenge

The financial services industry faces unique challenges in software testing due to complex transactions, regulatory requirements, and high security needs. This client encountered several obstacles:

Manual regression testing was slow and inefficient

Large test suites could not be fully executed manually, causing delays in financial services testing and software releases.

Inconsistent test data

Existing test data was unreliable, and creating new data for automated regression testing was too time-consuming.

High volume of manual test cases

Tens of thousands of test cases in HP ALM were inconsistent, leading to misinterpretation and unknown risk coverage.

Extended production release cycles

Long test cycles delayed go-to-market strategies and increased business risks.

Lack of proactive defect detection

Testing processes were reactive, addressing issues only after defects were found in production.

End-to-end testing limitations

Time constraints prevented full end-to-end testing, increasing the risk of undetected defects. These challenges highlighted the need for Tricentis scriptless automation to streamline financial services testing and enhance software quality.
