On-Premise Test Execution: What Financial Services Teams Need to Know
For regulated teams, "just upload your app to our cloud" is a non-starter. Test data is customer data, and a device cloud you don't control is another place it can leak. On-prem execution exists so you can automate without moving the risk.
Keep execution inside the perimeter
With an on-prem local agent, the browsers, devices and runners live inside your VPC. The application under test, its data and any PII are exercised locally; the only thing that crosses the boundary is the pass/fail telemetry you choose to share.
Satisfy the security review up front
The questions are predictable: where does data live, who can access it, how is it audited, can we deprovision instantly. SSO, SCIM, RBAC and immutable audit logs answer them, and an air-gapped option covers the strictest environments.
Done right, on-prem testing isn't a compromise on capability — it's the same autonomous workflow, run where your governance already applies.
