National Bank of Abu Dhabi

Maximum software quality for mobile banking applications

Providing the ability to carry out banking transactions quickly, securely and conveniently, from any location – this was how the National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) aimed to gain the loyalty of its existing private and business clients and to acquire new ones. With this realignment towards mobile services, the financial services provider was also aiming to move closer to its strategic goal of becoming the number one business bank in the trading zone between West Africa and East Asia. An extensive testing programme would ensure that mobile banking performs well and be reliable on any device and using any operating system. The load and performance tests and the functional end-to-end tests were designed and carried out by T-Systems MMS.

    Requirements

    Top Quality mobile banking

    To strengthen and extend its reputation as a leading innovator in the Middle East’s banking sector, the National Bank of Abu Dhabi's plans included launching modern online and mobile banking solutions. With these applications the software quality, which has to be reliable at all times, was hugely important. For the vast range of mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, and different operating systems with frequent releases, creates a need for a very wide range of specific software tests. So it was enormously important that the software for the planned mobile applications was designed to be future-proof and that its quality was guaranteed to be top quality over the long term.

    The bank's search for a suitable project partner led to them choosing T-Systems MMS. Their task was to support the NBAD with these plans and to ensure the quality of the software. The German digital services provider had to provide bespoke test procedures and tools, a task for which its vast experience in the mobile testing sector stood it in good stead.

Solution

Maximum performance and stability on any mobile device

The T-Systems MMS experts also took responsibility for all the testing management on the project, mostly from Germany. The T-Systems MMS Test and Integration Center, Germany's only accredited software testing lab in the online sector, generated specific test cases and supported the client throughout the project.
The mobile load and performance tests were customised to meet the specific needs of the client and of the project, and new test processes were developed. A new generation of the T-Systems MMS Mobile Device Cloud was used, for example. This consists of a high-performance, flexibly scalable test environment that is designed for a vast range of end devices. As well as regularly testing the different software versions on a large number of mobile devices, specific user acceptance tests were also carried out, at the client's request, to simulate users’ behaviour in different scenarios. The results of all the tests were documented in detail.
