Functional tests only, to verify that transactions are processed correctly.

Security tests only, to ensure that data exchanged with external systems is encrypted.

Interoperability tests with the payment gateway and regulatory reporting service, plus performance tests simulating peak transaction volumes.

Performance tests on the internal platform only, without involving the external systems.

That the report data matches the underlying transaction records and that the report format meets the regulator's specification.

That the report is stored in a secure location after generation.

That the report can be generated quickly, even if some data is approximated.

That the report is generated in a format that is easy for internal staff to read.

A QA team is testing a new loan origination system that processes applicants' personal financial data. The test environment uses a copy of production data.

Encrypt the test database and share the encryption key with all testers for convenience.

Delete all data after each test run and reload from production for the next run.

Anonymize or pseudonymize personal data before loading it into the test environment.
