6 Major Reasons Why Banking Systems Need Quality Assurance testing 

1. N-tier or multi-tier architectures are common in banking applications. The presentation, application, and database levels make up the three tiers of the most popular three-tier design. Therefore, End-to-end QA testing is necessary since the API layers directly touch the data layer and display layers and include the decision-making process of a banking application. 

2. We frequently hear about situations in which a customer’s funds become trapped in the payment gateway, resulting in a pending status or transaction failure and the deduction of funds from their individual bank accounts. The customer finds these kinds of bugs quite annoying. Therefore, an efficient QA testing is necessary to guarantee that your banking systems have a stable payment gateway integration that offers clients a flawless transaction experience. 

3. Banks frequently experience server problems or outages, which have an impact on both the operations of the banks and their clients. Customers become irate and banks suffer losses because of missed or delayed transactions brought on by server outages or downtime. Thus, to prevent server failure and guarantee high-performing applications under all load scenarios, banking servers and applications must undergo quality testing and assurance. 

4. The security and privacy of data are vital since banks handle sensitive and private client information. Banks make every effort to protect customer data from cyberattacks. However, as technology advances, hackers are frequently employing every method at their disposal to steal customer data. Therefore, it is crucial to examine financial systems for vulnerabilities to ensure that there are no security gaps that cybercriminals could exploit. 

5. Banks are migrating their infrastructure to the cloud due to the growing influx of cloud technology. A hybrid cloud approach has been embraced by most banks, whereby the public cloud is used for non-essential operations and applications and the private cloud for most vital procedures and applications. Thus, by guaranteeing the effective deployment of cloud solutions, cloud app testing contributes to the seamless operation of cloud-based financial systems.  

6. The banking industry is always looking for ways to use AI to improve data analytics, cut down on fraud, and save a significant amount of money and effort. An IHS Markit analysis from April 2019 projects that by 2030, the business value of AI in global banking would reach $300 billion. Therefore, to support the banking industry’s successful adoption of AI, ensure innovation, and provide outstanding customer service, AI testing of the banking system is crucial.
