Iosif Itkin
CEO and co-Founder, Exactpro
Financial infrastructure operators constantly seek operational efficiencies to remain competitive, while simultaneously having to comply with stringent requirements imposed by various regulators across different jurisdictions. On the technology side, financial services are supported by a multitude of complex and interconnected platforms, and their ability to effectively build, maintain, and adapt these platforms to the evolving conditions can significantly impact an organization’s bottom line.
Financial services firms explore numerous avenues to enhance their capabilities. One area often requiring additional attention is the continuous acquisition of accurate and relevant information about the state of the software in use—commonly known as software testing.
The session will explore ways to build efficient testing strategies that address the widespread challenges and constraints faced by financial services organizations globally. It will clarify both what a testing strategy is and what it is not.
