Infosys Independent Validation Solutions

Building tomorrow’s quality assurance enterpriseInformation Technology in banks has experienced a continuous churn over the last few years. Enhanced regulatory compliance levels, geographically distributed businesses, multi-tier applications targeting multiple devices, new channels and agile technologies play a major role in defining the technology strategy for today’s financial institutions. The resultant complex applications have made testing a critical factor in ensuring quality solutions - with minimum business risk and maximum business impact.

Quality Assurance (QA) organizations across the world are under pressure to enhance the performance levels of applications and demonstrate ROI from testing spends. With businesses defining timelines for faster go-to-market, there is an increased focus on optimizing test lifecycles for new applications. The introduction of new banking channels and the ever-changing regulations call for the QA enterprise to adapt its solutions to suit the paradigm shift.
