Banking test automation
that speaks banking.

BankTest is PinnacleQM's hybrid intelligent automation platform for banking. It tests systems, interfaces and end-to-end processes with no-code scripts and international banking message standards. It is built for banking systems.

The challenge

Banking change
outpaces manual testing.

Banks run complex integrated platforms where one change can affect lending, payments and channels. Messages, interfaces and legacy systems make testing slow, manual regression limits how often changes can be released, and customers wait for improvements.

BankTest automates banking applications, interfaces and end-to-end processes using natural-language, no-code scripts. It supports international banking message standards, and virtual testers run tests 24/7 without limit, so coverage grows, cycles shorten and releases reach customers sooner.

Benefits

Built for
banking complexity.

BankTest combines PinnacleQM's automation engine with banking standards and accelerators. It suits both banks and banking software vendors that need to release change faster.

Across more than 30 lending systems.

  • Banking standards

    International banking message standards are supported out of the box, so messages are tested at volume.

  • End-to-end processes

    Tests follow complete banking processes across applications and interfaces, covering whole customer journeys from start to finish.

  • No-code scripts

    Natural-language scripts mean banking business users can read tests and see exactly what is covered.

  • Virtual testers

    Virtual testers run 24/7 without limits on volume, making daily test cycles possible for banking teams.

  • Legacy ready

    BankTest works with mainframe and green-screen systems, so older banking platforms are never excluded from automated testing.

  • Banking accelerators

    Pre-built banking process scripts and LIXI frameworks mean set-up is measured in weeks, not months.

How we can help

What BankTest
does.

Capabilities tuned for banking systems, messages and processes.

End-to-end banking processes

BankTest automates complete banking processes, such as lending, across core, channel, mainframe and external credit systems in one natural-language test, proving every hand-off in the customer journey before changes reach customers.

  • Cross-system processes
  • Mainframe and channels
  • External services

Banking message standards

BankTest supports international banking message standards, including LIXI for lending through the LixSim framework, so lending messages are simulated and validated automatically, at volume, without depending on external parties being available.

  • Interface testing at volume

Banking test data

High-volume banking test data is created and production data obfuscated, so tests run on realistic accounts and transactions, at real banking volumes, without exposing any customer's personal or financial information.

24/7 virtual testers

Virtual testers execute banking regression 24/7 without limit, enabling daily test cycles, same-day retesting of fixes and faster releases, with evidence recorded for every run so release decisions rest on facts.

  • Daily test cycles
  • Rapid retesting

Business acceptance for banking

Banking business users accept changes from automated evidence with Authorise, so their time is protected, repeated manual UAT disappears and every approval is recorded for audit and regulatory review without extra effort.

  • Video evidence
  • Less business effort

Banking accelerators

Out-of-the-box banking process scripts, delivery kitbags and dashboards shorten the time to automated coverage, so banks start from proven assets instead of a blank page and see results within weeks.
