Delivery as a service: a fix for the regression testing problem
Jason Stockley · · 3 minute read
Regression testing is the work that expands quietly with every release. Delivery as a service is one way to stop it becoming the thing that holds a collections programme up.
Streamlining collections and recoveries in SaaS models
Staying ahead of the curve is crucial in today's fast-paced world. As technology evolves, so do the demands on robust collections and recoveries systems. Monthly releases in Software as a Service (SaaS) models are commonplace, yet these frequent changes introduce the challenge of effective regression testing, which can be costly to deliver in-house.
In this blog, we will explore how an expert, outsourced solution can add value to your business.
The evolving landscape of collections and recoveries
Collections and recoveries systems can help firms minimise costs and losses, while maximising revenue through dynamically optimised differentiated treatment paths. To adapt to market demands with agility, SaaS models are a popular choice, being both flexible and scalable.
The shift to SaaS introduces a faster pace of innovation. Monthly releases are the norm, addressing compliance requirements, enhancing customer experiences, and improving operational efficiency. While frequent updates are critical, the need for rigorous regression testing poses a challenge.
Why regression testing matters
Regression testing is a quality assurance process that ensures new releases do not mess up existing functionality. It is a meticulous and time-consuming task that requires a team with deep expertise in the system's architecture and business rules. Given the frequency of releases in SaaS models, having an in-house team for regression testing can be resource-intensive and costly.
Here are some key reasons why regression testing is essential:
- Data security & integrity: Data remains secure and accurate following the update.
- Regulation compliance: Firm remains compliant with regulatory requirements.
- Brand protection: Customer features work flawlessly, preserving trust and reputation.
- Cost reduction: Fix issues pre-release rather than incur the cost of post-release rectification.
- Delivery As A Service (DaaS) - A Solution to the Regression Testing Challenge
