Case Study: Major Australian bank achieves faster, more secure mobile app testing with Kobiton

Major Australian bank - Customer Case study

Major Australian bank, one of the country’s “big four,” faced a rapid shift to mobile (4.6 million online customers, 2 million mobile users and 56% of logons now via mobile) and needed to overhaul a largely manual, device-duplicated testing process in Sydney and Singapore. The bank required secure on-device testing that would extend its existing HP UFT and Selenium automation to native, mobile-web and hybrid apps without exposing sensitive customer data — and evaluated options before selecting Kobiton for secure, centralized device access and integration with its automation stack.

Kobiton was deployed behind the bank’s firewall to provide a centralized, remotely accessible device repository that testers can use 24x7, enabling instant device switching, device sharing across locations, and elimination of duplicate device purchases. Kobiton’s tight integration with HP UFT and Selenium let testers reuse familiar scripting for mobile automation, increasing test time, collaboration and productivity, and helping the bank improve mobile app quality while maintaining data security.
