The typical QA department wastes a big portion of its budget on inefficiencies that only get worse as complexity of core banking system grows. Automate many of these tasks and processes and you become leader and more responsive to business changes.
You still come across many organizations who have made an attempt to automate using old technology that was released into the market 10‐15 years ago. Clunky, script based solutions that require a developer to develop test scripts. That offers little flexibility and requires even higher maintenance efforts. It is amusing to see that a large part of testing is actually to ensure that a development resource has interpreted Business Requirements correctly and yet many automated solutions still rely on development resource to write scripts based on their interpretation of what is required!
Traditional tools struggle to work in an agile environment. This is mainly because they were designed to work in a ‘test last’ model whereas we employ a ‘shift left’ practice.
Enterprise applications are the engine of the global economy and need to be given the proper attention which is why we simply cannot allow for them not to evolve. And they have to evolve fast to keep up with the new trends.
Automation will become the norm
Back in 2004, when Validata was founded, we looked at the existing core banking systems market and realized that we cannot fix or rebuild these applications to be ready for the 21st century. With our technology, we are able to simulate a system’s logic behavior, simulate code in order to enable our clients to easily adapt to business needs. We were able to set the foundations of lifecycle automation for packaged applications, based on the experience and domain knowledge gained over the years.
By 2020, automation will have become the norm and will no longer be just an option.
Allowing for packaged applications to penetrate the large enterprise, has brought up surprises, as they were initially built according to small banks’ requirements. There may be some similar standards among the smaller and larger enterprise clients but it is obvious that large enterprises:
- cannot afford downtimes
- need to standardize and automate how they deploy changes
- have constant changing integration needs and are inundated by regulatory requirements
If a small ‘shop’ has a couple of hours downtime , you won’t see it in the news.
The future direction of automation
In the years to come, software vendors will be focusing on building apps for large enterprise and medium sized banks – built to be agile, flexible and scalable. Software has expanded its reach to every aspect of our lives; it is no longer relegated to a confined area of deployed applications to execute a business task. Software is responsible for business processes, consumer purchases, transportation, communications, and devices that are always on and, in some cases, life-critical.
Agile Automation has already started making its way to the cloud. Large enterprise opts more and more for automation as they need to standardize their processes and accelerate their growth.
