Client Background

FinCEN Advisors delivers compliance technology solutions for organizations managing Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) filings. As the platform evolved, its growing complexity demanded a structured quality assurance (QA) process capable of identifying bugs early, maintaining uptime, and ensuring global compliance with data privacy standards such as GDPR.

FinCen QA

The Problem

FinCEN Advisors’ platform was expanding rapidly with integrations across AWS, Stripe, and Supabase, introducing new technical dependencies that increased the potential for system failures. Without a consistent QA process, bugs and performance bottlenecks risked disrupting user experience and compliance operations.

The company required a comprehensive QA and bug tracking framework that could:

  • Detect and prevent regressions before deployment.
  • Automate repetitive test cases for efficiency.
  • Validate integrations with AWS, Supabase, and Stripe APIs.
  • Reinforce security and data integrity for sensitive filings.
  • Streamline issue tracking and improve collaboration between QA and development teams.

Our Solution

NextGen Coding Company designed and deployed a full-scale QA and testing architecture integrating automated testing, performance validation, and real-time bug tracking. The approach ensured reliability, compliance, and scalability across all platform components.

  • Developed a detailed QA roadmap covering all key workflows including registration, payment processing, and compliance submissions.
  • Combined manual testing for UX validation with automated testing for regression and performance coverage.
  • Defined measurable KPIs focused on uptime, bug resolution speed, and API reliability.

Automated Functional Testing with Selenium

  • Built and executed Selenium-based functional tests to validate user flows such as BOI submissions and Stripe payments.
  • Integrated TestNG for parallel test execution and advanced reporting.
  • Achieved cross-browser compatibility by testing on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, ensuring consistent performance across devices.

API Testing with Postman and Newman

  • Validated all RESTful APIs powering integrations between AWS, Stripe, and Supabase.
  • Used Postman for endpoint testing and Newman for automation of regression test runs.
  • Tested edge cases for latency, payload consistency, and authentication errors, resulting in a 20% reduction in API response times.

End-to-End Testing and User Workflow Validation

  • Automated full user journeys using Cypress, covering registration, submission, and document verification flows.
  • Identified UX bottlenecks and performance slowdowns, enabling rapid iterations before deployment.
  • Ensured end-to-end data accuracy between frontend, backend, and third-party services.

Bug Tracking and Team Collaboration with Jira

  • Integrated Jira for structured issue management and visibility.
  • Created automated workflows linking Jira with Slack for instant bug notifications and real-time updates.
  • Established dashboards that provided FinCEN Advisors with actionable insights into QA progress, open defects, and testing coverage.

Load and Performance Testing with Apache JMeter

  • Conducted load testing simulations with Apache JMeter to evaluate system behavior under peak demand.
  • Measured performance of API endpoints, database queries, and AWS services.
  • Validated the system’s ability to support 100,000 concurrent users while maintaining sub-two-second response times.

Regression and Security Testing

  • Built automated regression test suites integrated into GitLab CI/CD pipelines, ensuring stable releases.
  • Conducted security testing with OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite to identify vulnerabilities in authentication and data transmission layers.
  • Verified GDPR compliance through encryption validation, secure token management, and penetration testing.

Results

NextGen’s QA and bug tracking framework delivered measurable improvements in reliability, performance, and client satisfaction:

  • 200+ critical bugs resolved pre-deployment, ensuring stable releases and minimal user disruption.
  • 99.8% uptime achieved through proactive testing and issue prevention.
  • 100,000 concurrent users supported with consistent performance during peak filing periods.
  • 30% faster bug resolution enabled by Jira-Slack integration and prioritized task assignment.
  • 25% increase in user satisfaction, driven by smoother navigation and reduced system downtime.
  • 20% faster API response times following backend optimization and Postman automation.
  • Full GDPR and OWASP compliance, enhancing trust and data security across user accounts.

Through advanced automation, integrated testing tools, and continuous improvement, NextGen transformed FinCEN Advisors’ QA process into a scalable, transparent, and high-performing operation.
