Banking and fintech applications handle sensitive customer data and financial transactions, where security, accuracy, and uptime are critical. These systems must meet strict functional requirements, perform reliably under peak loads, and maintain strong controls for authentication, authorization, and data protection. ITQCR™ supports organizations by providing independent, standards-driven testing to improve reliability, reduce risk, and support compliance readiness.
What We Support in Banking & Fintech Projects
We provide testing and assurance for platforms such as:
- Internet banking and mobile banking applications
- Payment and transaction processing systems
- Digital onboarding and KYC workflows (as per scope)
- Wallets, UPI/payment integrations, and API-based services
- Customer portals, dashboards, and internal operational systems
- Integration interfaces with third-party systems and service providers
Key Focus Areas
Functional Correctness
- Verification of critical workflows (registration, login, onboarding, transactions)
- Validation of business rules, limits, validations, and error handling
- Role-based access and approval workflows (maker-checker, etc., where applicable)
- Reconciliation checks for transaction status flows (as per scope)
- Regression testing for releases and patch updates
Security Assurance (VAPT)
- Testing of authentication and session controls
- Authorization checks to prevent unauthorized access to accounts and data
- Input validation and injection vulnerability checks
- API security validation for sensitive endpoints
- Secure configuration review of application and infrastructure (as applicable)
- Risk-based reporting with remediation guidance and re-validation
Performance & Scalability
- Load testing for concurrent users during peak periods
- Stress and spike testing for sudden traffic increases
- Response time, throughput, and stability checks
- Endurance testing for long-running services
- Bottleneck analysis and optimization recommendations (as applicable)
Data Protection & Privacy Controls
- Validation of access controls for customer and transaction data
- Secure handling of logs and sensitive information (as per scope)
- Checks for safe error messaging and data exposure risks
- Backup/restore checks for platform components (where in scope)
Integration & API Validation
- Testing of integrations with payment gateways and external services
- API contract validation, error handling, and boundary testing
- Verification of timeouts, retries, and failure recovery behavior
Standards & Compliance Alignment
Testing and reporting can be aligned with project-specific standards and regulatory expectations as defined in scope, including:
- IS/ISO/IEC 17025:2017 aligned testing processes (documentation and traceability)
- OWASP-aligned security testing approaches for applications and APIs
- Applicable organizational and regulatory security requirements (as provided)
(Only mention the exact frameworks and requirements applicable to your engagement.)
Deliverables
Based on the selected scope, ITQCR™ provides:
- Test plan / test scenarios and execution summary
- Defect reports with evidence and reproducible steps
- Performance test report (workload + results + observations)
- VAPT report with risk rating, impact, and remediation guidance
