About Eximbank
Established in 1987, Türk Eximbank is Turkey’s official export credit agency, providing exporters with loans, guarantees, and insurance products. Focused on accelerating digital transformation and ensuring operational reliability, Eximbank has adopted modern, scalable, and secure technology solutions across its key platforms. The organization’s software and quality teams support mission-critical systems such as E-Şube, EximPortal, and SKYS.
Overview
Eximbank’s digital platforms have grown rapidly in both functionality and usage. Increasing operational volume, evolving regulatory requirements, and rising demand for seamless digital services created the need for a more agile, scalable, and dependable testing ecosystem. Applications such as E-Şube, EximPortal, and SKYS contain numerous sensitive and complex processes such as loan disbursements, customer portfolio actions, financial transactions, and automated reporting. Ensuring high accuracy in every release became critical, as even minor defects could disrupt operations or impact service quality. To strengthen release reliability and accelerate feedback cycles, Eximbank partnered with Testinium to modernize its UI and API automation processes. The goal was to reduce manual effort, create end-to-end visibility, and establish a continuous testing model fully integrated into Eximbank’s workflows.
Challenges
- Increasing functional complexity across E-Şube, EximPortal, and SKYS
- Frequent UI and API updates that required long and repetitive manual testing cycles
- Heavy regression workload that slowed down releases and increased the possibility of human error
- Limited visibility and traceability between UI and API scenarios, making it harder to validate system-wide behavior
- A small QA team of 4 analysts managing large applications with growing test coverage requirements
Solutions
Testinium designed and implemented a complete automation framework tailored to Eximbank’s architecture and testing needs.
- A fully structured automation framework was built to cover UI, API, smoke, and regression testing for all platforms.
- A total of 1,350 automated scenarios were delivered, including 700 Web UI tests and 650 API tests for E-Şube, EximPortal, and SKYS.
- A continuous testing model was created through the Testinium application, enabling automated scenarios to run regularly or at scheduled intervals to provide rapid feedback.
- A unified reporting and monitoring layer was introduced, allowing all UI and API results to be viewed and analyzed from a single dashboard.
- All 4 QA analysts were trained in depth on the framework, becoming fully capable of creating, maintaining, and extending automated scenarios independently.
- Scenario structure and naming standards were defined to ensure long-term maintainability and consistency across all teams and platforms.
- Daily smoke test execution and pre-release full regression cycles were automated through the Testinium application, significantly reducing overall execution time and increasing reliability.
Results
Eximbank achieved significant and measurable improvements following the implementation of the new automation framework.
- Faster release cycles: Regression durations were reduced substantially, allowing releases to be delivered with less manual effort.
- Higher product quality: The 1,350 automated scenarios greatly improved defect detection accuracy, especially in critical financial flows.
- Centralized visibility and traceability: All UI and API test results became easily accessible within the Testinium application, allowing faster analysis and more efficient decision-making.
- Continuous testing foundation: Automated tests are now executed continuously, either on schedule or on demand, eliminating long waiting times between test cycles.
- Increased team efficiency: The 4 person QA team became fully self-sufficient in executing and maintaining high-volume automated scenarios, enabling them to focus on quality improvements rather than repetitive manual work.
- Reduced operational risk: Core functionalities across E-Şube, EximPortal, and SKYS are validated before every release, reducing the likelihood of production issues.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Eximbank and Testinium resulted in a modern, scalable, and sustainable testing ecosystem that supports the bank’s digital transformation goals. All major platforms, including E-Şube, EximPortal, and SKYS, now benefit from reliable and continuous testing processes that ensure faster releases, higher stability, and improved end-user experience. By adopting Testinium’s automation capabilities, Eximbank strengthened its operational resilience, increased team productivity, and established a long-term quality culture that will support future growth and modernization initiatives.
