Innovative technologies are the building blocks of a Digital Transformation. That’s for sure. But for these technological blocks to be planned out and put together, you need a Digital Team—a group of people who lays the foundation for your Digital Transformation. 

This is why, times and again, businesses are reported to consider “people” as the most influential factor to their Digital Journey—not technologies per se.

Thus, assembling the Digital Team should be the top box in your digitization checklist.

Banking is notorious for being slow in Digital Transformation when compared to other more agile sectors such as Retail and eCommerce. This harsh reality is especially true for incumbent banks. Their complex and long-standing core require substantially more time and resources. Plus, the fixed mindset of the workforce usually rejects a thorough revolution like Digital Banking. Instead, they prefer a more gradual change. 

Reportedly, Digital Transformation in the banking sector is still responsive. When banks launch digital initiatives, it's mostly a response to major market trends and shifts in customer behavior that leave them with no choice but to change. Mobile Banking or electronic Know-your-Customer (KYC) are prime examples.

However, as more market challengers like fintech and neo-banks entered the banking scene, we can expect to see more success stories of Digital Transformation in Banking.

The benefits of Digital Transformation can differ slightly from banks to banks. But in general, there are some common advantages to consider, which we will make clear in this article.

Test Automation is on the rise. With a suitable tool and a right strategy in place, QA teams can significantly accelerate testing time and save efforts while ensuring extensive test coverage. But, for teams unfamiliar with Automation Testing, developing a sound strategy might be a daunting task. 

In this listicle, you will find some best practices you can leverage at each of the seven stages of designing an automation testing process. Applied with care, it can be a checklist to optimize your team’s efforts and resources.

Automation Testing is the use of specialized tools to automatically execute your tests. The benefits of Automation Testing are not limited to reduced human errors, increased test coverage, and faster testing process. By applying test automation properly, you can facilitate new development methods, such as Continuous Integration and Continuous Development (CI/CD), and increase the ROI of the whole project.

But there's a very basic mistake that QA teams usually make when trying out Automation Testing. It's choosing test cases for automation. The truth is, not everything is suited to be automated. The World Quality Report 2019 revealed that 24% of teams surveyed are meeting difficulties in deciding which test cases to automate.

This article will give you some tips and pointers to do so.

You should take time evaluating test cases for automation because it helps you:

• Increase the chance that the test cases being automated have decent testing coverage
• Reduce the time, manpower, and costs associated with the maintenance of test automation
• Ensure you will generate ROIs from Test Automation
• Get your QA team onboard with and buy into the test automation

Vietnam’s Digital Banking, while still in its infancy, has shown enormous potential. Long gone are the days customers have to visit physical branch every time they have to do paperwork or draw cash. Especially during and after the peak of the Covid pandemic, Digital Banking has proven how convenient and helpful it can be. It is reported that 94% of Vietnamese banks are working on Digital Transformation, while 42% see Digital Transformation as number-one priority.

In this article, we will explore all the factors that prompt the development of Digital Banking in Vietnam.

To meet the increasingly diverse need for financial services, banking institutions are focusing on building new applications such as Mobile Banking, Personal Finance Application, Corporate Finance System. In accordance with that, they also apply Software Testing to ensure the quality of these technologies.

The idea of Automation Testing of course sounds exciting. What could be better than writing a script only one time, and then re-executing it for up to hundreds, even thousands, of times? 

With Automation Testing, your team can increase test coverage, find bugs earlier, and still be able to use manual testing where it truly delivers values. 

But most of the time, that’s just not enough to get everyone to buy into Test Automation. This is especially true for top management and the CFO who would ask for a convincing ROI analysis for such a major investment like Automation Testing.

Hochiminh City, February 18th, 2020, the technology company KMS Solutions issued a press release announcing the launch of its electronic Know-Your-Customer (eKYC) platform that is geared towards Southeast Asia's banking sector, further supplementing the company's Digital Banking Service portfolio as per its latest strategy.

Making the switch from Manual Testing to Automation Testing can be worthwhile. However, this modern method of software testing comes with several challenges. If you fail to resolve them, Automation Testing won't deliver the values it should.

In this article, let's identify the 5 most common challenges your QA team might face when they start to dip their toes into Automation Testing.

We all know that Manual Testing and Automation Testing are the 2 types of Software Testing. Both have the same purpose: to help testers run test cases; and then compare the test results with the requirement. 

But, while Manual Testing works fine for certain test cases, it is time- and cost-consuming in the long run. If you are applying modern software development methods such as Agile, chances are that you have lots of iterative development cycles. These methods require you to run a test multiple times. In this case, Manual Testing, with its repetitive and error-prone nature, is no longer suitable.

Test Automation can help you automate the execution of lots of tests and testing phases. In this article, we will discuss some of the most popular types of automation testing. It will be a checklist for you to choose the right automated tests for your next project.
