Case Study: Leading Inter-Dealer Money Broker achieves 75% faster regression testing and 40% cost savings with HCL automation testing

Leading Inter-Dealer Money Broker - Customer Case Study

HCL worked with one of the leading inter-dealer money brokers, a firm operating across Treasury, Repos, Energy and Credit, which faced QA bandwidth shortages, lack of system design and poor configuration management from its development partner, and high defect leakage and schedule slippage from an incumbent testing vendor. HCL delivered Business Assurance & Testing services, including automation testing (tool evaluation, POC and automation of the trading regression pack) using technologies such as QTP 9.5, HP Quality Center and Jira.

HCL implemented and optimized an automated regression suite (about 2,500+ test cases per cycle), baselined requirements, developed reusable KT and test artifacts, and performed end-to-end testing across Citrix and native environments. The result: execution time per release fell by 75.55%, annual costs dropped by ~40% (saving ~$162K p.a.), effort decreased by 34 days per release, stability improved enabling wider Phase‑1 rollout, and HCL completed 10 test rounds without major schedule impact thanks to earlier defect detection.
