Basis chores● Test scripts were 8-10 years old● Testing expert had recently retired
The Solution
Test Builder generates regressiontest suite
Automated CodeRemediation cuts R&D time
Integration Testing focused on identified interface failures
InitialTesting
Collaborative Testing accelerates UAT and provides full progress visibility
●From 6-months to 3-months●Smooth go-live
