Project Summary
The Leading Bank – BCB Lending division is responsible for automating critical operations in the Business and Commercial Banking domain. This includes end-to-end testing for workflows such as Loan Origination, Credit Approval Processes, CPF Handling, and various Commercial Banking Services that support high-value financial transactions. The domain required a scalable automation solution to meet complex financial, regulatory, and release demands.
Challenges
Legacy automation framework was unstable and lacked scalability
Absence of Page Object Model (POM) resulted in tightly coupled code with low reusability
Hard-coded and inconsistent locators frequently broke with UI changes
Poor code structure and lack of version control in the repository
Test scripts were not CI/CD integrated, causing manual execution delays and inconsistent outcomes
