Validata Group, the leading provider of Validata SAS, the first truly integrated Automation Lifecycle Management solution for the Banking and Finance Sector, announced today that it has been selected by EastWest Bank in the Philippines to provide testing services and assist the bank in the implementation of Temenos T24™, its new core banking system.
The model to be used has been successfully deployed on a number of T24 sites already, offering a services-based solution. Validata will work with the bank to deliver a set of functional and integration-based test cases to be used during the project. The services are delivered using a unique proven methodology powered by Validata ATS testing solution to manage the process and provide a level of end-to-end automated testing which is not possible with other tools in the Temenos market.
Gerone G. Jimenez, Head of the Project Management Office at the Bank, commented: “Validata’s reputation in the banking and finance sector made them our obvious choice for a partner. From a business perspective, their practical approach and methodology have allowed us to shape our testing effort effectively, whilst technically, we are able to support local and offshore working models seamlessly”
“EastWest Bank has taken a very strategic view on testing and we’re delighted that they have selected Validata Group as a partner to help deliver in that area.” said Vaios Vaitsis, Founder and CEO of Validata Group.
“Validata ATS unique data-centric approach to test design minimizes effort and repetitive steps, and maximizes test coverage. This approach is also extended in test execution, with techniques such as multi-release testing, model-driven testing alleviating key pain points experienced by testers today.” added Vaios.
Validata ATS is part of Validata SAS, a central suite of integrated tools compatible with any platform, database, user interface (UI) and application program interface (API). It is focused on managing core application lifecycle activities from requirements and process management, through testing and configuration management. Doing this allows banks to encourage best practice by capturing and reusing project assets and process knowledge.
Validata ATS is designed to validate the various configurations across the complete TEMENOS T24™ software stack from Core to Country Model Bank, ISB and Local code. It enables end-to-end testing from front office applications with Desktop, Web and mobile UIs to backend processes and operations. It also integrates with both Business and IT tools and repositories without taking customers to rigid platforms, and providing end-to-end traceability, dashboards and reporting.
