5 QA Initiatives To Ensure Digital Success of Businesses<\/h2>\n

This immense usage of digital media in expanding the services of BFSI sector makes testing digital technologies a key to ensure trust and confidence of the people. Here are a few Quality Assurance<\/a> initiatives that we recommend to ensure digital success of businesses and to have a lasting impact on the customer experience and improve productivity.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Continuous Testing<\/h3>\n

Continuous testing in BFSI sector accelerates continuous integration and delivery. It provides project teams with continuous feedback and enables them to test earlier with greater coverage, thus removing traditional testing bottlenecks such as unavailability of test environments. Financial and Insurance sectors involve huge volumes of data. Continuous monitoring between development and IT operations helps success of Agile teams using DevOps practices.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Omni-Channel Testing<\/h3>\n

If a product or service offering has to be made available to anyone, at anytime, anyplace in the BFSI sector<\/a>, it should be available to customers using multiple devices with a single process spanning across multiple devices. Omni-Channel testing helps ensuring performance across all channels \u2013 whether offline or online.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Customer Experience Testing<\/h3>\n

The major factor that defines acceptance of a product or service when it goes live is the customer experience. It is crucial to test a product or service from the perspective of a customer. Unlike technical testing, customer experience testing can differ from assumptions of a product success. It impacts a product or a service success as it is based on customer expectations and emotions and also the physical performance and processes.

Technology trends play a huge role in enhancing digital transformation in the BFSI sector, so they also introduce a threat environment to the organizations. Due to the emergence of new digital payment methods, BFSI organizations have been exposed further to new gateways of cyberattacks and fraud. Security testing, thus, is crucial and have business critical importance as banks hold huge volumes of sensitive data of customers for which they are targeted daily.<\/p>\n
