About the Client
A company in the banking and financial services sector operating a digital platform with a large customer base, processing business-critical transactions in a regulated environment. Modern development processes, established tool suites, and initial test automation are already in place — what’s missing is a holistic testing strategy, transparency on test coverage and quality metrics, and a scalable reporting structure.
Engagement Goal
Build a sustainable QA and test automation strategy that can be implemented together with internal teams and operated independently in the long term. The external team lays the groundwork, works closely with existing teams, and ensures continuous knowledge transfer. Strategic ownership stays with the client and its future internal QA function.
