Customer Stories
Boosting Efficiency & Performance for a Global Fastener Leader
This client faced lengthy delays in getting their SAP software updates out the door. Manual testing by their teams was taking 2-3 days per release, which slowed down deployments. With hundreds of test cases across various modules, they knew automation was the key to faster releases.
Problem Statement
The company's reliance on manual testing was creating a major hurdle. Testing cycles were cumbersome, leading to missed deadlines and hindering their ability to release updates quickly. The upcoming SAP S/4HANA migration added another layer of pressure, as manual testing wouldn't be scalable enough for the new system. To make matters worse, the internal team lacked the expertise and resources to implement test automation effectively. This combination of slow testing, migration challenges, and limited internal knowledge created a significant roadblock to their software release process.
Challenges
Manual Testing Bottleneck
Reliance on manual testing was creating a time barrier, impacting release timelines and ultimately, Go-to-Market (GTM) strategy.
S/4HANA Migration Pressures
Upcoming migration to S/4HANA further emphasized the need for a more efficient testing approach.
Lack of Automation Expertise
The absence of in-house expertise in test automation implementation and best practices hindered progress.
