Move Fast Without Breaking Compliance
In financial systems, the cost of failure is regulatory, reputational, and revenue-impacting — all at once. Stratos™ gives financial institutions the automation they need to ship confidently, validating APIs, batch systems, integrations, and platforms under real-world pressure and at scale.
Financial Services Testing
How does Clear Sky test financial services systems?
Clear Sky's Stratos™ platform validates financial services systems end to end — including core banking platforms, payment gateways, SFTP/FTP endpoints, message queues, data lakes, and CRM and ERP systems — across their applications, APIs, and batch workflows.
It is capable of testing the systems behind payment and batch processing — including API validation (REST/SOAP), ACH processing, end-of-day batch over SFTP/FTP, settlement, and reconciliation, as well as loan origination, fund transfers, KYC checks, and fraud detection — with audit-ready reporting that helps support SOX, PCI-DSS, and GDPR.
Why Financial Services Leaders Choose Stratos™
Compliance-First Validation
Produces audit-ready results that help support SOX, PCI-DSS, and GDPR requirements, with full test traceability from requirement to result.
Batch File Testing at Scale
Generates and validates large-volume test files — daily transactions, deposits, reconciliation batches — with complex rule verification at every data point.
Real-World Load Simulation
Simulates concurrent users across regions and device types to test how systems perform under actual market conditions — not just lab conditions.
Full Regression Automation
Automates regression testing across both back-office settlement systems and customer-facing portals, catching regressions before they reach production.
Critical Workflow Validation
Validates high-stakes workflows end to end — loan origination, fund transfers, ACH processing, KYC checks — where a single defect has material consequences.
AI-Driven Test Generation
Generates test cases directly from requirements documents, reducing manual scripting time while improving coverage and accuracy.
Stratos™ Capabilities for Financial Services
Unified Functional, Load & Performance Testing
Test the logic, speed, and resilience of your systems in a single execution — no separate tools for functional vs. performance testing.
Batch File Generation & Processing
Create large volumes of synthetic test files — transaction logs, deposit batches, reconciliation files — and validate every data point through the processing pipeline.
Secure Multi-System Test Automation
Validate end-to-end workflows that span customer portals, APIs, databases, message queues, and file drops — in a single automated run.
Role-Based Customer Journey Testing
Simulate different user roles — retail banking, business banking, admin — across mobile, web, and back-office systems to validate every permutation.
Global Performance Simulation
Test application performance from 43+ geographic locations to verify behavior across financial hubs and international markets.
Audit-Ready Test Reporting
Track test execution, defects, and requirement traceability with documentation built for auditors, risk teams, and compliance officers.
Use Cases
Core Banking Regression
Automate functional and load testing across deposits, payments, loan processing, and account services — catching regressions before they compound.
Payment Gateway & API Validation
Verify stability of REST and SOAP APIs handling transactions, KYC verification, fraud detection, and third-party integrations under production-like conditions.
End-of-Day Batch Processing
Generate synthetic transaction files, deliver them to secure SFTP/FTP endpoints, and validate downstream reconciliation, settlement, and reporting outputs.
Mobile & Online Banking Performance
Simulate thousands of concurrent users performing real-world actions — balance checks, transfers, bill payments — across devices and geographies.
Compliance & Audit Reporting
Produce traceable test execution records with defect linkage and requirement mapping — ready for internal risk teams, external auditors, and regulatory review.
