The context
A banking-tech company was building a major bank’s credit-card management app, with high feature velocity (6–8 pods/month) and a 5,000+ manual test-case regression suite.
The challenge
- A 24-hour regression cycle stalling high-velocity releases.
- Human-dependent KYC (UIDAI/NSDL/IDfy) blocking true end-to-end automation.
- Banking compliance ruling out cloud device labs; non-technical business sign-off needed.
What we did
A hybrid strategy: API-first automation with custom mocks for KYC, an on-premise device lab, and business-readable BDD reporting.
- Custom mock services for UIDAI/NSDL with API/DB state manipulation to bypass manual KYC.
- Built a production-grade on-prem device lab (real SIM, OTP, fingerprinting) inside the client’s secure environment.
- BDD scenarios + Allure evidence + Flock alerts for fast, trusted sign-off.
- Automated 3,000+ regression test cases, cutting ~800 manual hours per release cycle.
“The KYC flows everyone said couldn’t be automated, they automated — inside our secure environment. A three-day regression became same-day release readiness.”
