Optimizing QA for a Leading FinTech SaaS Platform

Achieving Rapid Releases with Uncompromised Quality Through AI-Powered Automation

Client: Innovative FinTech SaaS Provider

Industry: Financial Technology (FinTech), SaaS

Service: Quality Engineering, AI-Driven Test Automation, Compliance Testing

Challenge: Escalating defect rates, slow manual regression cycles, and hindered release velocity in a highly regulated environment.

The Challenge: Quality Bottlenecks in a Fast-Paced FinTech Environment

Our client, a rapidly expanding FinTech SaaS provider, faced significant challenges in their software delivery pipeline. As their platform grew in complexity and user base, their manual testing processes became a severe bottleneck. Key issues included:

  • High Defect Leakage: Critical bugs were frequently discovered in production, leading to customer dissatisfaction and urgent hotfixes, impacting financial transaction integrity.
  • Extended Regression Cycles: Manual regression testing for each release took days, delaying deployments and slowing down new feature delivery.
  • Inconsistent Test Coverage: Reliance on manual testing led to gaps in test coverage, increasing the risk of undetected issues, especially concerning regulatory compliance (e.g., PCI DSS).
  • Strained QA Team: The QA team was overwhelmed by repetitive manual tasks, limiting their ability to perform exploratory testing and strategic quality initiatives.

The client urgently needed a scalable, efficient, and reliable Quality Engineering solution to maintain their competitive edge and ensure the integrity and security of their financial platform.

Our Solution: Implementing a Robust AI-Driven Test Automation Framework

NeoEdgeTech partnered with the client to implement a comprehensive Quality Engineering strategy, with a strong focus on establishing a robust and scalable AI-driven test automation framework. Our approach included:
