Test Automation Services
Purpose-built test automation for banking and financial services. AV360 delivers AI-enhanced regression testing with pre-built LoanIQ test libraries — reducing BFSI testing costs by up to 70%.
Technology is always changing. New systems, updates, security needs, and business demands can make it hard to keep up. Testing these changes manually takes time and effort — and can slow your team down. That's where ACS comes in. We help take the pressure off by automating your testing processes. This means you can roll out changes faster, with more confidence, and without disrupting your day-to-day operations. Our approach is built on years of real experience, helping you handle repetitive tasks so your team can focus on what really matters — serving your customers.

What Is Quality Engineering?
Quality engineering embeds testing and validation into every phase of software delivery — from requirements analysis through development, deployment, and ongoing operations. Unlike traditional QA that catches defects after the fact, quality engineering prevents them by design through automated quality gates, shift-left testing practices, and continuous feedback loops. ACS applies this discipline specifically to financial services environments where the cost of defects is measured in regulatory penalties, failed settlements, and reputational damage — with manual regression testing alone costing BFSI organisations between AUD 960,000 and AUD 1,440,000 per year for mid-sized teams. Our quality engineering practice covers test strategy definition, automation framework implementation, performance and security testing, and continuous integration pipeline design. For APAC financial institutions managing complex platforms like LoanIQ, Murex, and core banking systems, the difference between manual testing bottlenecks and automated quality gates can mean weeks saved on every release cycle.
Why Choose ACS for Quality Engineering?
What Is the ACS Verify 360 (AV360)?
ACS Verify 360 (AV360) is a purpose-built test automation platform designed for financial services. Its hybrid data-driven architecture separates test logic from test data, enabling rapid expansion of test coverage without proportional increases in development effort. AV360 includes pre-built test libraries for Loan IQ, Summit, and other key financial services platforms — accelerating initial deployment from months to weeks. The platform supports both on-premise and hosted deployment models, integrates with leading CI/CD tools including Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and GitLab, and provides real-time reporting dashboards with coverage metrics and defect trending. AV360's AI evolution layer enables teams to create test cases from natural language prompts rather than manual scripting — describing what to test and having the platform generate the execution steps. ACS has deployed AV360 across APAC banking clients, automating over 4,000 test cases and achieving 94% coverage within six months on a single engagement.
What Does Test Automation Advisory & Consulting Cover?
Test automation advisory and consulting services help organisations design, implement, and scale automated testing capability across complex software environments — moving beyond ad-hoc test scripts toward sustainable quality engineering practices. ACS's test automation advisory and consulting practice covers four engagement types tailored to the maturity stage of the client team: test automation strategy definition, framework selection and implementation, training and capability uplift, and ongoing managed quality engineering. For institutions starting from a manual-testing baseline, ACS advisory typically begins with an automation maturity assessment — identifying which test cases will deliver the highest ROI when automated, mapping the existing tooling landscape, and building a phased roadmap with clear quality gates and milestones. For more mature teams, our consulting focuses on framework optimisation, CI/CD integration, and shift-left practices that prevent defects rather than catching them post-development. The consulting engagement model combines hands-on framework implementation with structured knowledge transfer to client teams — leaving the organisation with sustainable internal capability rather than dependency on external consultants. ACS test automation specialists have led this model across APAC banking and financial services clients, including LoanIQ, Murex, treasury, and core banking platform validation programmes.
Why Do BFSI Organisations Choose ACS for Test Automation?
Banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) test automation has requirements that differ materially from general enterprise software testing. Defects in BFSI systems can mean failed settlements, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage measured in millions — making the cost of inadequate testing far higher than the cost of comprehensive automation. ACS specialises in BFSI test automation because the domain demands depth that generalist test consultancies rarely provide. ACS test automation engineers bring practitioner-level familiarity with the platforms BFSI organisations actually run: Finastra LoanIQ across syndicated and bilateral lending, Murex and Calypso across treasury and capital markets, Summit and other treasury platforms, and core banking systems including Temenos and FIS. This platform knowledge means our automated tests cover not just functional behaviour but the data integrity, regulatory compliance, and integration scenarios specific to financial services — defects that pure UI-level testing tools typically miss. ACS BFSI test automation engagements consistently deliver measurable outcomes: 4,000+ test cases automated for a major APAC financial services client, 94% test coverage achieved within six months on a single engagement, and reductions of up to 70% in regression testing costs across multi-year programmes. Combined with AV360's pre-built test libraries for LoanIQ and Summit, ACS accelerates initial deployment from months to weeks — letting financial institutions reach automation maturity before competitors who started with generic tools.
What Is Automation of Testing Services for BFSI?
Automation of testing services for BFSI is the discipline of replacing manual regression, integration, and user-acceptance testing across banking, financial services, and insurance platforms with scripted or model-driven automated execution — covering both the functional behaviour of business logic and the non-functional concerns (security, performance, data integrity) that distinguish financial services from general enterprise software. Unlike generic test automation that focuses on UI-level scripts, BFSI test automation must validate platform-specific data flows: loan-tape balances after a LoanIQ rate-reset event, FX revaluation P&L after a Murex end-of-day cycle, settlement instruction generation in core banking after a payment-message ingestion, and regulatory reporting outputs against APRA, MAS, and HKMA filing schemas. ACS automation of testing services for BFSI is delivered through three engagement models: (1) advisory — automation maturity assessment, framework selection, and roadmap definition for institutions starting from a manual baseline; (2) implementation — framework build-out using AV360 with pre-built libraries for LoanIQ, Summit, and other BFSI platforms, integrated with Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI/CD pipelines; (3) managed quality engineering — ongoing test execution, defect triage, and framework maintenance as a continuous service. Typical outcomes across ACS engagements: 4,000+ automated test cases, 94% test coverage within six months, and 70% reductions in regression testing costs versus the manual-testing baseline of AUD 960,000-1.44M per year for mid-sized BFSI teams. The economic case is compelling — but the strategic case is faster release velocity, fewer production incidents, and audit-ready evidence of testing rigour for prudential regulators across APAC.
