The client is the biggest bank in Europe, with 98 million individual clients, 2.7 million corporate clients, and 278,000 employees. Although they had been using Blue Prism RPA for a while, they decided to perform the first ever load/performance testing of their software, so it was all new to them. PFLB played the guiding part, making the client aware of all the details of load testing and running the service. After the project, the client’s business indicators increased notably, so they returned to us with another service request.

It is often impossible to provide high-quality performance testing for a complex system without automation. Today, we would like to share our experience of carrying out such a task for the largest government-owned bank, which has a chain of over 190 thousand ATMs. For our client, performance automation helped organize all systems in a strong and effective network.

Our client, a large state-owned bank, pays special attention to the stability of the FIS Profile system which serves more than 65 million customers, 55 million contracts, 9 million loan agreements, and 45 million cards. PFLB conducts banking application testing for each of the system releases. On average, a release contains about ten changes to the functionality of the system, each of which requires detailed elaboration and specific testing.

Our client is one of the largest commercial banks, with European offices and state participation. The bank had a goal to minimize performance and resiliency risks in IT infrastructure and salary program systems, such as possible disruptions in payroll card services, payroll accounting delays, and system failures during registry processing.
PFLB provided performance testing of payroll systems. The testing challenge was to understand the structure of component interaction given a variety of registry types and a large status model.

We continue our series of articles about optimizing the popular load testing service JMeter. In the previous article, we highlighted the possibilities of significantly speeding up JMeter by configuring agent monitoring and optimizing components and service settings. In this part of the Apache JMeter load testing tutorial, we…

Apache JMeter load testing doesn’t need to be advertised; nonetheless, not enough attention is paid to the load script speed. In this article, we take a look at different approaches to writing load scripts in an optimal way that allows saving money on the load testing machines. This…

JMeter is a highly extensible, open-source platform that can help identify performance issues in your application. It is among the most popular tools for performance testing. You can read more about difference between PFLB, LoadRunner and JMeter. So in JMeter, it is no longer possible to change the intensity, the number of threads and the […]

I think that many readers are actively using LoadRunner. So, I’ve got a question: where do you take the test data from? The first option is to parametrize everything and save the dataset in .dat-files. It’s a good solution, but what if there are many scripts with common parameters in the use case? The second […]

Our client is a big commercial bank and a leader in the consumer credit market. Our customer decided to implement its own transaction processing. The findings presented by PFLB at the end of the project helped the bank decide to postpone deployment outfits in-house processing system by 3 months, during which time the bottleneck was fixed by a developer.

In a world where the global economy is connected, banking plays a foundational role in connecting companies financially regardless of their location. However, due to the critical nature of finances and the risk of fraud, security, and privacy, banking applications enabling these transactions are extremely complex, perhaps more complicated than most enterprise software. Even a […]
