Business Challenges
All organizations are under pressure to reduce costs and improve quality, whilst keeping pace
with new technologies and practices. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Cloud are emerging to
become the predominant business models and creating disruption in the testing tools market.
The traditional focus has been to test same specific activities (load, stress, functional,
regression).
Economic conditions and pressure to improve time to market are placing increased emphasis on
productivity and moving away from the shadow of shrink-wrapped software and towards the
future of Cloud & SaaS models. With poor software quality leading to user dissatisfaction as
well as increased development and maintenance costs, good quality assurance is an essential
but costly process.
Therefore, having a well-defined testing software tool and practices to drive software quality
will positively affect the overall bottom line of the business.
Validata Test Factory ™ 2.0
Unlike traditional tools, Validata SAS validates Core Banking systems, aligns testing to business
requirements whilst improving productivity and automation coverage, and achieves reduced test cycle
times in all phases of testing. Service offerings and flexible pricing schemes are all part of the unique
offering of Test Factory™.
Test Factory™ is a standardized Test ‘Utility’ model with welldefined best practices, test automation, re-usable test assets and
standards, robust management processes for defects and change,
and enhanced ROI.
Test Factory 2.0 model enables customers to move away from unstable
environments, limited centralized governance and high costs of quality,
and establish their own test environment in the cloud leveraging prebuilt test cases and Validata SAS automated solution that can reduce test
effort by a factor of as much as ten to one.

T24 Model Bank Accelerators
Access to a library of pre-built reusable test cases and business workflows, which enable you to
jumpstart your testing projects and substantially reduce the effort of testing. These test cases are
the foundation for end-to-end automated testing of the complete Temenos T24™ stack from
Country Model Bank, to ISB and Local Code.
 Our testing accelerators allow Validata Test Factory™ 2.0
to jump start our clients implementation by having up to
80% of the core Test Cases and Test Steps available
immediately testing begins.
 The structure provides a ‘ready-to-use’ set of test
scenarios, grouped into logical functions and based on the
major banking business functions (i.e. Loans, deposits,
FX...), providing re-usability.
 Reusability is the key driver in reducing costs. As a limited
amount of customization will be required, the cost of
implementing Validata is significantly reduced.
