The information management solutions are specific group of projects which standart testing methods are rarely applicable for. We are going to investigate a case study with a bank application that will put the QA team in front of many challenges: no user interface, big volume of information fetched, and a high speed of processing this data needed. Even more, the calculations made and the system security are critical as we are talking about a bank product.
