What happened

Two test automation tools tried. Both failed.

This Swiss private bank runs FIS Cross-Asset Trading and Risk Platform (formerly Front Arena) for their entire multi-asset workflow: trading, risk management, sales and distribution, settlement, and accounting.

The platform couldn't be tested automatically. They evaluated two different tools. One detected nothing but a black square. The other retrieved continuous text that made no sense. The reason: Front Arena relies heavily on graphical tables, and conventional test automation tools can't read them.

So the team tested manually. In a daily business where time for thorough testing is always scarce, this meant their most critical application carried the most risk.

How they fixed it

AI-powered table recognition that reads what other tools can't see

TestResults doesn't rely on code or identifiers. It interacts with the application like a person would. For Front Arena's graphical tables, the built-in AI table recognition labels the element as a table and reads all columns and rows automatically. You define the interactions you want, and TestResults handles the rest.

The team had already been burned twice by tools that promised automation but couldn't deliver. After a short onboarding, they had their most critical test cases automated in a few days.

No special training required. No certification needed.

Business risk on core trading platform mitigated

What changed

Their highest-risk application is finally under automated test coverage

The business risk is off the table. Front Arena runs as expected, and the team that was stuck doing manual testing has their time back for work that actually requires a human.

For a private bank, gaps in test coverage on core trading and risk applications aren't just inconvenient. A bug that slips through can affect settlements, accounting, and ultimately client trust.
