success story

Shortened time to market through reduced QA cycles

The client, a leading Fortune 500 U.S. Healthcare insurance company, had 138 complex applications with as many as eight software releases per year. Software release testing was an ineffective, manual process and the consequent delays impacted time-to-market and customer experience.

 

 

The Challenge

Software release testing was manual and ineffective

Their testing process was weighed down by large effort estimates, scarce resources, and process bottlenecks. The client needed to address the following key challenges:

  • An unsatisfactory speed of launch of new products and services
  • High defect density in major releases
  • Inconsistent and inefficient testing efforts across releases
The Solution

Innovative and adaptive solutions

Virtusa proposed, implemented, and supported a highly leveraged, framework-driven test automation platform called VTAF. VTAF is a well-defined, easy-to-use, robust, reusable and scalable automation framework.
