Case Study: a leading investment bank increases application efficiency with HCL quality assurance

HCL Helps A Leading Investment Bank In Increasing The Application Efficiency Through Quality Assurance

HCL assisted a leading investment bank in addressing the challenge of ensuring precision and quality in its Equities Middle Office applications. The bank sought to increase application efficiency and ensure quality releases by developing a comprehensive quality assurance and automation plan that included manual functional test cases, end-to-end QA test cycles, and release-based regression testing.

The HCL solution involved performing Functional, Regression, and System Integration Testing, along with UAT support. They implemented a factory model and leveraged their team's deep domain knowledge to automate the regression test pack. This resulted in on-time releases with zero production defects and a massive optimization of the regression test suite from over 30,000 to just 2,200 test cases. HCL's work saved an estimated 20 person-days of effort per release and reduced the cycle time by at least one week.
