    Challenge

    The client needed to launch a secure, high-performance investment platform that would meet both international banking standards and local Islamic banking requirements. The app had to process sensitive financial data, handle complex KYC verification, and provide Sharia-compliant trading options. The team needed to establish QA processes from scratch while working with a unique Sunday-Thursday schedule typical for the Gulf region.

    Solutions

    Our team implemented a comprehensive QA strategy tailored to the unique requirements of the GCC fintech market:

    • Localization & Compliance. Adapted the app to Gulf-specific requirements, including the Sharia-compliant filter and language adjustments.
    • Documentation & Metrics. Established documentation standards and introduced metrics to track and prioritize issues.
    • Security & Performance testing. Conducted performance tests with SoapUI Pro and security tests using MobSF and Kali Linux, ensuring user data protection.
    • Feature testing. Rgorously tested key functionalities such as recurring investments, stock trackers, instant funding, and multiple income streams
    • Automation. Automated critical tests, including server scans, to streamline updates and optimize response times.
