Case Study: Ignis Asset Management achieves 20X reduction in testing time with Parasoft API Testing & Service Virtualization

20X Reduction in Testing Time Achieved with API Test Automation and Service Virtualization

Ignis Asset Management, a London‑based firm with over $100 billion AUM, faced a large back‑office outsourcing program that required many projects to be developed in parallel. Limited internal and third‑party test environments, manual stubbing, and a 10 man‑day regression process hampered integration testing and the company’s move to agile development, creating a need for faster, automated API‑level testing.

Ignis implemented Parasoft’s API Testing and Service Virtualization (with Supero Solutions’ help) to generate data‑driven API traffic and virtualize third‑party responses, plus automated quality gates for outsourced components. The result: regression execution dropped from 10 days to a half day (20× faster), covering 300 scenarios with 12,600 validation checkpoints, enabling end‑to‑end automated testing across the SDLC and stronger developer‑tester collaboration.
