Banking Sector

Lets get to the situation where banking
sectors face severe
challenges in test data management.

• Requirements Of Data Compliances

• Complexity And Diversity Of Data

• Intricate Architecture

• Data Modification

• Regression Testing

Requirements Of Data Compliances
Banks are bounded by the government laws and
their banking standards that are PCI and DSS
(Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
to keep their customer data encrypted and safe.
The process gets more complex when the security
standards differ from country to country and are
upgraded usually. However, as the increase of
cyber attacks including data breaching,
government forces banks to set access limitation
on production data for cloning purpose. With that
much of margins and without any option left,
testers have to rely on testing beds data which
isnt expansive as production data.

Complexity And Diversity Of Data

From the Initial point, the banking procedures
are very much complicated which are compiled with
massive data and complex online business criteria
integrated with this data. It usually takes ample
amount of experience to get familiar with the
characters and to know the requirement of every
single data which can be synchronized with the
correct data for a test case.

Intricate Architecture

Data is frequently managed by legacy system
back-end and is distributed to multiple databases
across the globe. With different systems like
payment process, cards, loyalty, rewards and much
more, the data dependencies may very upstream or
downstream which can make it more difficult to
extract the required data. This problem occurs
due to insufficient documentation incorporating
with old legacy systems.

Data Modification

For complex test cases, the relevant data may not
be available in the required format in the
database. The QA testers will have to re-arrange
the data and have implemented business rules to
extract the proper required data to execute the
test without being failed with data integrity
laws.

Regression Testing

Whether its big or small, every release requires
being processed with sufficient regression
testing to make sure that the former features
should not be broken off with an upcoming
functionality. Its essential in the matter of
banking as if any particular issue arises in
production, that could be a danger point for the
customers and searching another test data for the
complete regression test process is the
punctilious and difficult job to do.
