Apart from the security vulnerabilities, banking application may also lack behind, in various aspects of utmost importance, from user’s point of view, such as performance, usability, reliability, recovery management and other various issues. It is, desired by the customer that an application functions, smoothly without any problematic issues.
It simply means, testing the banking application, to ensure its appropriate and desired working, after its deployment and installation on the user site or device. Basically, this testing is carried out to evaluate the various performance areas of the software application to ensure the delivery of quality product to the users or customers.
Let's see, some of the desired or expected characteristics that a particular banking application may possess.
The task of testing the banking application may be carried out in multiple phases along with the help of the professionals having expertise in the banking domain as their knowledge and skills may prove to be useful in understanding the banking process, better.
