Lending Platform – Testing Function & QA Framework Build
Outcome
Full QA function built from zero to protect against regulatory risk
The Problem
A new lending platform was being developed without any structured testing. No QA strategy, no documentation, no defect process and no validation of regulatory-critical logic, exposing the product to financial and compliance risks.
Our Solution
We built a complete QA function including strategy, regression planning, defect lifecycle and automation preparation, while delivering hands-on testing for Phase 1.
Key actions
- Test strategy, lifecycle stages & acceptance criteria
- Full test case repository defining expected behaviour
- Defect management & prioritisation with offshore teams
- Regression framework + automation setup
- UAT preparation & evidence for controlled release
Impact
- A scalable QA function created from scratch
- Critical defects removed before UAT
- Reduced release risk through early automation setup
- Improved collaboration between UK & offshore developers

Why It Mattered
Quality became a proactive discipline, not an afterthought – protecting financial outputs, compliance and future delivery phases.
