Does HeadSpin’s banking testing solution offer the database replication feature?

Yes. HeadSpin’s database replication feature is known as Replica DB. This feature allows users to export test data from the HeadSpin Platform to their dashboard solutions or to their data lakes.

What is web application pentest?

A web application pentest is a security assessment used to test banking applications. It uses the same methods and tools as a normal penetration test, but this test focuses on the security of an app’s code and infrastructure rather than the whole system’s security.

Does HeadSpin offer the Air-Gapped deployment option for its banking app testing solution?

Yes. HeadSpin provides the Air-Gapped deployment option for banking organizations, where HeadSpin’s software suite and test data are brought on-premise by deploying blade servers.

What is transaction testing?

Transaction testing is a QA process used in the BFSI solution testing to verify the integrity of various financial transactions. This testing supports banking and financial companies in evaluating financial transactions, documentation, and internal control’s reliability.
