Whether your university is migrating from on-prem to Banner SaaS or directly implementing Banner SaaS, our tailored testing services ensure your system’s reliability, security, and overall functionality across all deployment models. We provide comprehensive testing throughout the migration process, ensuring data accuracy, seamless integration, and smooth post-migration performance. Additionally, we offer ongoing SaaS support, with regression and performance testing to ensure regular updates don’t impact functionality, helping your institution remain agile and future-ready.
Key Benefits for Universities

Comprehensive Testing Approach
Our testing services cover all key areas of your Banner environment, ensuring the system performs flawlessly during peak academic times like enrolment and results release, while keeping your operations secure and efficient.
- AI-Assisted Test Automation
Our pre-built Banner frameworks, combined with Tricentis Tosca Copilot and Vision AI, and Playwright with Claude Code, build and maintain regression tests faster, so each SaaS update is tested in days, not weeks. - Performance Testing
Whether on-prem or in the cloud, we simulate high-load scenarios to ensure your Banner system can handle peak periods such as student registrations and graduation without performance bottlenecks. - Security Testing
Protect sensitive student, staff, and financial data with advanced security testing. We identify vulnerabilities early to keep your Banner system secure from potential threats. - User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
We collaborate with your internal teams to validate that your Banner SaaS deployment aligns with user needs and expectations, ensuring a seamless experience for both students and staff. - AI-Assisted Data Migration Testing
For universities moving from on-prem to SaaS, we reconcile migrated records at scale and use AI to validate unstructured data, such as curriculum and module information, so everything transfers securely and accurately. - Regression for SaaS Updates
Banner SaaS updates arrive on Ellucian’s schedule, not yours. We run automated regression on every update so registration, results, finance and HR keep working. - Integration Testing
We test Banner’s connections to your VLE, finance and payment systems, UCAS and HESA Data Futures returns, so data flows correctly end to end.
Testing AI in Your Student Systems
As AI features and chatbots arrive in student systems, we test that answers are accurate and based on your own data, that students and staff only see what they should, and that nothing breaks after each update.
