resources. And by extending testing capabilities
beyond functional activity, teams can gain a clearer
view of transaction performance, real-time compliance
risk and operational exposure.

Payment teams that adopt a modern, progressive
testing approach can benefit from:
• Controlling the cost of repetitive manual testing
• Catching defects early to reduce cost of remedia-
tion
• Minimizing delays and additional costs during
migration and transformation programs
• Reducing the impact of failed transactions on
day-to-day operations
• Improving visibility of transaction performance
and compliance risk
• Validating high volume transaction environ-
ments without disruption to live systems
• Accelerate ISO 20022 readiness with more effi-
cient testing cycles

Reducing test-infrastructure costs is just the start
Banks and payment providers need testing that
keeps pace with innovation. Migration to ISO 20022,
implementation of instant payments, investments in
open banking and other new regulatory requirements
are placing significant pressure on technology and
operations teams.

Testing slowly and manually won't cut it. Forward-
thinking businesses recognize the importance of
improving testing speed and efficiency to keep up
with exponential change. By taking control of payment
testing, tech teams can help reduce program costs,
limit financial exposure and release resources to focus
on what really matters: driving long-term business
value.
