Latest Trends in Insurance Application Testing

Today, technology is playing a critical role in the business strategy of insurance enterprises. As a result, insurance companies are heavily dependent on information technology to automate certain business processes, expand demographic reach, derive actionable insights from data and also drive consumer engagement across platforms. Software Applications help ease various business processes and workflows like development of standard policy forms, handling various billing procedures, management of customer data, providing quality services to the customer etc.

Software Applications in the Insurance industry are used primarily to meet the evolving customer needs amidst changing market conditions. In order to meet this requirement successfully, it is imperative for the applications to be tested for durability and consistency of usability. Thorough testing procedures before actual deployment of the software application ensures the quality of the insurance software by identifying bugs before go-live.

Seamless software application testing requires the right tools and testing environments. Teams need to work in tandem with the right tools across locations, geographies, and time zones to achieve the desired software application. The latest trends in tools that insurers popularly use are:

• Automation Testing Tools: Automated testing helps in getting an improved Return on Investment. It facilitates better execution tests, reporting outcomes and comparing results with earlier test runs in Insurance application testing. Many insurers implement automation only after understanding if the manual testing program is not meeting expectations… and it is not possible to bring in more human testers.
• Defect and Test Management: Different tools are used for defect management that meet the industry standards. Application of the tools can
• Provide requirements traceability
• Provide a centralized repository of test artifacts
• Facilitate test and defect metrics that provide insight into requirements coverage
• Specialized Tools for Specific Tests: Enterprises more recently have been investing in specialized tools like data warehouse, digital/user experience, document comparison, integration, performance, and security.

Along with the right tools, insurers are also investing greatly in developing favorable environments for testing. These environments are mainly focusing on functional, nonfunctional and UAT test phases. They are designed to facilitate end-to-end business process testing.
