How Intelligent Test Automation Saved Hundreds of QA Hours for a Global Enterprise

In today’s hyper-competitive digital landscape, quality assurance (QA) is no longer just about catching bugs—it’s about accelerating releases, maintaining reliability, and enabling scalability. Yet, many enterprises continue to struggle with manual testing bottlenecks, inconsistent results, and mounting QA backlogs. 

This was the case for one of Techment’s clients, a donor engagement platform serving leading education and healthcare non-profits. Their donor engagement platform was growing rapidly, but QA inefficiencies slowed releases and risked software quality. That’s where Techment, in partnership with Tricentis Testim, stepped in to transform their QA processes. The results? 2500+ QA hours saved, scalable automation frameworks, and faster release velocity.

TL;DR 

• 2500+ QA hours saved using Intelligent Test Automation with Tricentis Testim.
• Self-healing automation reduced maintenance and increased resilience.
• Regression and API testing automated across multiple streams.
• QA efficiency improved while ensuring scalability for global operations.
• Faster releases achieved with stronger test coverage and reliability.

The Challenge: QA Bottlenecks and Inefficiencies 

The donor engagement platform was mission-critical, helping non-profits strengthen one-to-one connections with donors. But rapid growth introduced new complexities: 

• Test Coverage Gaps: Many features lacked proper testing, leaving critical bugs undetected.
• Frequent Requirement Changes: Shifting client demands forced repeated test rework.
• Environment Discrepancies: Differences between dev, test, and production environments complicated bug replication.
• Limited QA Resources: Tight budgets and small teams slowed progress.

The result? Extended testing cycles, delayed releases, and increased risk of production defects.

How Intelligent Test Automation Transformed QA Efficiency 

1. Self-Healing Test Scripts
   Intelligent automation frameworks like Tricentis and Testim leverage AI to detect and adapt to changes in application elements automatically. For the enterprise in focus, this meant a 60% reduction in script maintenance efforts. Instead of manually fixing broken scripts, the system corrected them dynamically.
2. Smarter Test Case Prioritization
   AI-driven test case selection ensured that only the most critical regression tests were executed, significantly reducing execution time. This led to a 30% faster test cycle completion, enabling the enterprise to release updates weekly instead of bi-weekly.
3. Cross-Platform Scalability
   The enterprise operated across web, mobile, and legacy systems. Intelligent automation allowed seamless integration across platforms, ensuring test coverage across multiple environments without duplication of effort.
