The challenge
The client runs a loan origination platform used by financial institutions and real estate professionals. Reliability, security and performance are critical.
Frequent API failures eroded reliability and user trust. Thin security testing left vulnerabilities, and performance bottlenecks slowed response times.
Defects were hard to find and manage. Integrating complex third-party services securely was also difficult.
Our approach
- Validation testing to confirm APIs met functional and business requirements.
- Security testing, including penetration and fuzz testing.
- Reliability testing to confirm consistent, dependable API operation.
- Performance testing of responsiveness and stability under varying loads.
- Functional and integration testing of API responses and integration with the existing environment.
- Tools: Postman, JMeter, OWASP ZAP, SoapUI, SQL Server, Selenium, Cucumber, New Relic, Jira and Jenkins.
Results
- A sharp drop in software defects.
- Faster API response times and better system stability.
- Stronger protection of sensitive data.
- Streamlined, automated testing that cut cost and time to market.
- Positive client feedback on API reliability.
