FirstOntario Credit Union

Validata takes FOCU live on Temenos Transact

Company Overview

FirstOntario Credit Union FirstOntario is a full service cooperative financial institution, serving members for more than 80 years throughout the Golden Horseshoe, Niagara Region, and Southwestern regions of Ontario.

The bank has been leveraging Validata’s AI-powered technologies since 2016.

Validata not only automates test cases but their AI engine can also build test cases based on historical activity so functional and regression testing has never been easier or faster. We also rely on Validata for Performance and Load Testing; using both “day in the life” scenarios and the ability to simulate transaction volumes, Validata identifies the choke points for performance optimization. Validata has saved thousands of hours of manual work effort and helped us ensure our solutions are ready with no surprises, long before we go live.

Michael Walsh

Vice President, Information Technology at FirstOntario

Validata has been incredibly responsive to our needs. We have seen the value of their advanced technology and we look forward to continue working together. The upgrade to Validata Sense.ai enables a new level of automated, AI-powered quality assurance for our Temenos application, keeping us one step ahead with insights into what to fix, what to test and what to automate.

Vice President, Innovation, Automation & Digital Experience at FirstOntario
