Case Study: BW-Bank achieves secure, higher-quality mobile app testing and faster releases with Sauce Labs

Testing with Strict Data Protection Requirements - How Bw-Bank Boosted its App Quality

Baden-Württembergische Bank (BW‑Bank), a Stuttgart‑based financial institution, needed to ensure its securities‑management app worked flawlessly for a professional, heterogeneous customer base under strict regulatory and data‑protection rules. The app’s complexity — real‑time market data, account management, personalised authorisations and multi‑device UI requirements — made manual testing insufficient and demanded broad, continuous test coverage across Android and iOS devices.

BW‑Bank adopted Sauce Labs’ hybrid solution (private cloud for sensitive devices plus public cloud for scale) and automated extensive test scenarios, supported by Sauce Labs Kickstart. This eliminated the need to build and maintain a large local device lab, reduced costs and release times, improved cross‑team collaboration (with seamless JIRA integration), and enabled reliable reproduction of customer issues while meeting the bank’s security requirements.
