Case Study: Banco de Crédito e Inversiones (BCI) achieves 50% faster software testing with Parasoft Virtualize

BCI Cuts Software Testing Time in Half With Service Virtualization

Banco de Crédito e Inversiones (BCI) is a Chilean bank with over 85 years of history and about 11,600 employees, offering banking, asset management and insurance services across Latin America and the U.S. Faced with strict regulatory requirements and slow, costly testing and certification processes, BCI struggled with long test-data generation times, third‑party service latency and complex internal middleware—leading to certification windows of 30–70 days and delayed time to market.

BCI partnered with Technology Solutions Latam to implement Parasoft Virtualize for service virtualization, enabling continuous testing with virtualized dependencies. The change stabilized environments, reduced testing load and shortened cycles—cutting test flow time by more than 50%, improving test efficiency by 30%, accelerating app delivery by ~20%, and reducing certification time by roughly 50–60%.
