Accelerating Quality & Efficiency: 50% Faster Test Automation with Zero Defect Releases
Overview: A leading manufacturer in the electrical and
telecommunication cables industry, the client
specializes in a diverse portfolio of products,
driving innovation across its operations. They
needed to optimize their testing process to align
with faster release cycles and ensure quality at
speed.
Objective: The client s primary objective was to achieve a 50% reduction in test execution timelines and effort by implementing
end-to-end test automation across SAP and non-SAP systems. Key outcomes targeted included zero-defect releases,
a stabilized smoke, sanity, and regression testing suite, and a 90% reduction in business risk through consistent, datadriven testing processes.
Business Challenges
The client faced multiple challenges that hindered their ability to maintain quality and speed during continuous
release cycles:
No Test Automation: Absence of automation for complex SAP processes led to prolonged manual testing cycles
Inconsistent Testing Methods: Lack of defined testing methodologies, resulted in inconsistent quality checks
Process Gaps in Agile Implementation: Absence of Agile Scrum framework delayed release readiness &
collaboration
Increased Risk Exposure: Manual testing increased business risk with limited accuracy & delayed defect detection
The Solution
A comprehensive end-to-end test automation solution was implemented to streamline the client’s SAP and
non-SAP testing processes. This included automating critical SAP modules such as MM, WM, FICO, PP, PM,
QM, SD, and HCM, along with surrounding systems like DMS and GST. Tricentis Tosca was deployed to
provide a unified automation framework, ensuring consistent test coverage. Additionally, a robust project
tracking and reporting matrix was introduced, alongside a structured test automation strategy with
standardized tools and methodologies for improved testing consistency.
Value Delivered
By implementing a structured test automation solution, the client experienced significant improvements in testing
efficiency, risk reduction, and overall process reliability. The streamlined approach not only accelerated testing cycles
but also minimized errors, creating a more predictable and stress-free release process.
