Learn how financial institutions can build software that is secure, compliant, and meets the needs of digital-first customers.

Banking applications are the backbone of the modern financial system. They manage billions of transactions daily, secure sensitive user data, and ensure seamless financial operations across the globe. Just as a high-performance car requires rigorous testing before hitting the road to avoid accidents and breakdowns, banking applications must undergo extensive testing to prevent financial losses, security breaches, and operational failures.

API is the backbone of many software architecture. However, it is also one of the major points of technical conflict. When a major code update happens, it is really important to check on these APIs to ensure that those code modifications did not inadvertently break existing functionality. This is why API regression testing should be considered in your regression test planning.

Regression testing is notoriously repetitive and time-consuming. As your software grows in complexity, manually testing every existing features is just counter-productive. This is why regression testing is an ideal potential for automation. One of Katalon's customers, Liberty Latin America, upon adopting regression test automation, has seen 50% decrease in testing time, which ultimately translates into rippling benefits across the entire QA process.

From the technical perspective of QAs, investing in test automation is no longer a nice-to-have, but a necessity. However, the problem arises when they seek alignment with the non-technical stakeholders. To secure leadership buy-in, it is important that you translate the value of test automation into business value. More than just faster releases, it is also about having lower risk, better customer experience, and a stronger competitive edge.

In coding land, it’s really important to ensure that your app behaves as it should, isn’t it? One of the ways people do this is by doing something called assertion testing. Assertion testing is about creating checkpoints in the form of assertions. They’re small tests that verify everything’s going as expected while the program’s executing its task.

Regulated industries – from healthcare to finance – face a dual challenge: delivering high-quality software at speed while maintaining strict compliance with industry regulations. The stakes are high, with non-compliance leading to massive fines, reputational damage, loss of customer trust and operational disruptions. The good news? Compliance doesn’t have to be a bottleneck. With the right tools, it can become a seamless part of your development process.
