QualityKiosk Technologies, a firm specialised in digital assurance and reliability engineering solutions, said it has struck a partnership with Qualitia, a software firm that runs an AI test automation platform for the banking and insurance sector.
Using Qualitia’s Boson platform, an AI-powered, self-healing solution specifically optimized for Salesforce deployments, they aim to deliver seamless, scalable test automation for the banking/insurance (BFSI) and software/SaaS platform sectors.
California-based QualityKiosk explained that the collaboration is a direct result of the increasingly rapid release cycles in software, as firms demand more robust and adaptable test automation.
“Traditional testing tools often struggle, leading to high maintenance and delayed rollouts,” explained Maneesh Jhawar, CEO of QualityKiosk, who stressed Qualitia’s Boson platform is specifically optimized for Salesforce deployments.
The Boson platform addresses these challenges by leveraging AI to automatically adjust to software changes, Qualitia claims, thereby ensuring continuous testing with minimal manual intervention despite frequent updates to functional environments and data structures.
Jhawar stressed that by partnering with Qualitia, it enables QualityKiosk to deliver these capabilities to clients, thereby reducing testing times and supporting faster, reliable deployments.
“Qualitia’s approach enables faster, simplified test creation and execution compared to other platforms, making it especially valuable for organisations prioritizing speed and accuracy in their digital transformation efforts,” he claimed.
“Traditional testing automation tools used by banks and financial companies are no longer adequate,” Jhawar continued.
“By combining our expertise in quality assurance with Qualitia’s platform we help clients overcome the unique complexities deployments.”
Jhawar went on to say that “with this approach we can literally automate thousands of test cases within days to achieve faster, more reliable results,” adding that “we have made a commitment to enhancing business transformation in banking, finance and insurance, and this partnership is a key enabler to that commitment.”
QualityKiosk currently operates in around 25 countries and has about 3,500 employees, serving mostly banks and firms in capital markets and insurance to transform their digital capabilities.
“Traditional testing tools often struggle, leading to high maintenance and delayed rollouts.”

Under the deal, all QualityKiosk’s clients will have access to Qualitia’s Boson platform.
In addition, Rahul Chaudhari, the founder and CEO of Qualitia, explained his reasons to agree to the partnership.
“QualityKiosk provides top-tier quality assurance and banking, finance and insurance domain expertise. Together we can help customers go live successfully with a 90% reduced time to deployment and smooth ongoing operations.”
The partnership also brings a new reseller model to the market, the companies stressed, with QualityKiosk now licensed to provide Qualitia’s solutions, offering its clients an alternative to conventional test automation tools.
CBD agreement
The new partnership comes only months after QualityKiosk won a major contract in the Middle East, as the Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD) confirmed over the summer it will make the California-based testing solution provider its exclusive testing partner for all of its digital infrastructure.
As part of the deal QualityKiosk will develop a Testing Centre of Excellence (TCoE) for what is considered Dubai’s largest financial institution.
The project should be seen as “an extensive digital transformation initiative aimed at modernizing the bank’s technology ecosystem,” the company explained.
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed but CBD, which was founded in 1969, is one of the oldest and largest banks in the United Arab Emirates.
“This strategic alliance includes enabling predictive risk minimization, delivering quality engineering efficiencies, and enhancing productivity, all aligned with CBD’s overarching objective of enabling advanced digital banking services,” Jhawar stressed.
“With strong reliability engineering principles in place, we will soon become a state-of-the-art, AI-first TCoE,” he added.
The exclusive partnership builds on a year of successful collaboration between CBD and QK.
Together, they established CBD’s initial TCoE with industry-best processes and systems, automated 300,000 test executions, centralized 150,000 test cases, and virtualized over 100 services to drive the on-time completion of 35+ customer-facing digital modernization projects.
The projects’ shared successes fuelled a strong partnership, culminating in QualityKiosk’s selection as the exclusive quality and reliability engineering partner for CBD’s TCoE.
“Our collaboration with CBD will leverage our proprietary AI expertise and platforms to operate at top speed and adapt to the bank’s changing business and innovation needs,” added Ravishankar Gopalan, advisory board member at QualityKiosk.
