International Financial Services Company Protects Its Business with Lab & Test Automation

How a Leading Financial Institution Achieved 85% Faster Testing with Lab & Test Automation

For a global financial services company managing 70 million customers, 8,000 branches, and 13,000 ATMs across 35 countries, maintaining network reliability, security, and compliance was a growing challenge. Every new technology deployment carried risks—potential security vulnerabilities, performance degradation, or regulatory compliance failures. Traditional testing methods were slow, resource-intensive, and inconsistent, creating roadblocks to innovation. To stay ahead in a rapidly evolving financial landscape, the company needed a modernized, automated testing solution that would streamline validation, reduce risks, and accelerate deployment timelines.

By partnering with Spirent, the institution transformed its approach to pre-production testing. Through automated lab and test environments, they eliminated inefficiencies and gained deeper insights into network performance. Most significantly, they achieved an 85% reduction in testing times, allowing them to implement critical upgrades faster, improve service quality, and enhance security posture — all while reducing operational costs.
