One Strategy, One Community: A deep dive into a Global Testing Transformation
summary
ING identifies 42 production incidents that were preventable, inventorying 44 white-box tools, 52 blackbox tools and 110 programming languages as root causes of fragmentation and wasted effort. A global test strategy plus a Community of Practice and tool rationalization create guardrail quality gates: requirement testability checks (moving toward an AI quality rater), CI mutation testing to measure unit-test quality, and standardized archetypes for unit/component/system/integrated tests. Pilot in wholesale banking shows cultural adoption and CIO-level endorsement.
