QA at Redian is not a gate at the end of a sprint — it is a discipline wired into requirements, design, build and release. Our engineers pair with product and delivery teams to shape testable stories, define acceptance criteria, and build the automation, performance and security suites that keep a system honest as it grows. The work spans exploratory and scripted testing, manual and automated coverage, and risk-based test design that concentrates effort where defects actually hurt.
We test the applications we build and the ones our clients already run — core banking cutovers, policy admin migrations, CRM rollouts on Zoho and Salesforce, ERP go-lives on Odoo and MS Dynamics, and bespoke AI/ML pipelines. The goal is the same each time: catch the failures that matter before customers, auditors or regulators do.
What we cover
Functional and regression testing. Business-flow coverage across web, mobile and API layers, with regression suites that grow alongside the product. We use risk-based prioritisation so critical paths — payments, underwriting, claims FNOL, GL posting, KYC, disbursement — get the deepest coverage, not just the newest features.
Test automation. UI automation in Playwright, Selenium, Cypress and Appium; API automation in REST Assured, Postman/Newman and Karate; contract testing with Pact for microservice estates. We build page-object and screenplay patterns that survive UI churn, and we own the test data strategy so runs are deterministic across environments.
Performance and load testing. JMeter, Gatling, k6 and Locust for load, soak, stress and spike profiles. We baseline transactions per second on core banking rails, quote-to-bind flows, ecommerce checkouts and reporting queries, then tune JVM, DB, cache and network layers with the engineering team until the SLAs hold under peak.
Security and penetration testing. OWASP ASVS-aligned assessments, SAST/DAST integration (SonarQube, Snyk, OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite), dependency and container scanning, and targeted pen tests before major releases. For BFSI clients we align with RBI cyber-security guidelines, IRDAI information & cyber-security controls, PCI DSS, and where applicable SAMA, CBK and NAICOM circulars.
Accessibility and usability. WCAG 2.1 AA conformance testing using axe, Lighthouse and manual assistive-technology checks (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver). This matters for public-sector, banking and insurance portals where accessibility is regulated, not optional.
Data and integration testing. ETL validation, reconciliation between source and target systems in migrations, event-driven test harnesses for Kafka and RabbitMQ, and end-to-end checks across integration layers built on MuleSoft, Boomi, Zoho Flow or custom middleware.
Where QA fits in our delivery
On CRM & ERP implementation projects, our testers work inside the functional stream from blueprint onward — defining UAT scripts against process flows, validating configuration against requirement traceability, and building automated smoke suites that survive quarterly platform updates from Zoho, Odoo, Salesforce or Microsoft.
On BFSI engagements — core banking, lending, payments, policy administration, claims and reinsurance — QA carries additional weight. We build parallel-run harnesses for migrations, reconcile ledgers down to the paisa or cent, verify interest accrual and IFRS 9 / IFRS 17 calculations, and stress the batch windows that regulators inspect. Test evidence is packaged for internal audit and for regulators such as the RBI, IRDAI, CBK, IRA, FCA and NAICOM.
On product engineering and AI/ML work, we cover model behaviour as well as code — drift checks, bias tests, prompt-injection and jailbreak testing for LLM features, and evaluation harnesses that grade model outputs against a curated ground-truth set on every build.
What we deliver
- A test strategy tied to your architecture and risk profile, not a generic template.
- Traceability from requirement to test case to defect to release note — the audit trail regulators and internal audit actually ask for.
- Automation frameworks you own: source in your repo, runs in your CI (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins), dashboards in Allure, ReportPortal or your existing tooling.
- Performance baselines with tuning recommendations, not just red-yellow-green charts.
- Security findings triaged by exploitability and business impact, with remediation guidance and retest evidence.
- A defect economics view — where defects originate, where they leak, and where to invest to shift left.
How we engage
Most clients start with a QA maturity assessment or a targeted engagement — a release under pressure, a migration that needs a parallel-run harness, or an automation debt clean-up. From there we typically move into embedded squads where Redian QA engineers sit inside your delivery teams, or a managed testing model where we run the function end-to-end against agreed SLAs.
For teams that need capacity rather than a full practice, IT staff augmentation lets you place Redian SDETs, performance engineers and security testers directly into your reporting line, with our delivery leads keeping quality and continuity.
Why Redian
We are CMMI Level 3 appraised and ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, so the process rigour behind QA — traceability, defect governance, environment control, evidence retention — is already in place. We have shipped tested, regulated software for banks, insurers, NBFCs and public-sector clients across India, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Nigeria, South Sudan, Cameroon, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK, USA, Canada and Australia. Our engineers hold ISTQB, CSTE, OSCP, CEH and cloud-provider certifications, and our practice leads have run QA for core banking, policy admin and large ERP go-lives where the cost of a missed defect is measured in regulatory findings, not story points.
