Tier-1 Global Bank Scales Cross-Platform BDD Automation (UI, API & Mobile)
At a glance —
the essentials.
Tier-1 Global Bank (Canada)
- A Tier-1 Global Bank operating a large-scale enterprise digital platform faced mounting regression challenges. With 7,500+ UI and API test cases requiring automation and 1,000+ validation tests spanning reports, databases, and logs, manual execution had become unsustainable. Long execution cycles and heavy regression effort with every release were delaying delivery and placing significant strain on QA teams across channels.
Kumaran developed a BDD-based Quantum Automation Framework (KTAC) to address the full breadth of the bank's testing needs across UI, API, and Mobile. Excel Data Tables were used for data-driven testing to maximize coverage with minimal script overhead. Tests were executed via Eclipse and Jenkins for seamless CI integration, with HTML reports featuring screenshots and video recording for fast defect triage. Database and report validations were fully automated, covering the 1,000+ validation scenarios per release.
- 7,500+ test cases automated across UI, API, and Mobile
- 1,000+ report and database validations per release
- ~60% faster execution per release cycle
- Scalable, repeatable regression across all digital channels
- Full traceability via HTML reports with screenshots and video
From heavy manual regression to 60% faster release cycles.
A Tier-1 Global Bank (Canada) partnered with Kumaran to implement a BDD-based Quantum Automation Framework across their enterprise digital platform, automating 7,500+ test cases and achieving approximately 60% faster execution per release. The engagement covered UI, API, and Mobile testing, along with 1,000+ database and report validations, delivering a scalable, repeatable regression capability that could sustain the bank's release velocity across multiple digital channels. For this bank, the challenge was not simply automating tests — it was building a framework that could scale with the platform and reduce QA effort release after release.
The Background
The bank's enterprise digital platform had grown to a scale where manual regression was no longer viable. With thousands of test cases spanning UI, API, Mobile, and data validation layers, each release cycle demanded enormous QA effort and still carried the risk of gaps in coverage. Report and database validations added further complexity, requiring specialist effort beyond standard UI testing. The team needed a unified, BDD-driven framework that could bring consistency, speed, and traceability to regression testing across every channel and every layer of the stack.
