Accelerating QE Automation to Drive Efficiencies in a Multi-Line Managed Care Enterprise

Overcoming Quality Assurance Bottlenecks in a Complex IT Landscape

Our client, a leading managed care provider, faced significant quality assurance and engineering inefficiencies due to a fragmented legacy technology landscape. With 40+ applications spanning multiple technologies, databases, and cloud platforms, ensuring consistent quality while accelerating time-to-market was a major challenge.

The client’s existing QA approach was tactical rather than strategic, with minimal automation, creating bottlenecks in software release cycles. Additionally, ongoing cloud migration and M&A-driven data center transitions further increased complexity, making it crucial to optimize quality processes and integrate automation.

To address these challenges, the client sought a digital-first, automation-driven approach to transform their Quality Assurance (QA) into Quality Engineering (QE).
Shifted from traditional QA to quality-driven engineering, integrating automation early in the development lifecycle.
Leveraged TOSCA Automation Test Suite to accelerate test cycles and improve regression coverage.
Implemented key QA metrics, including Regression Automation Coverage, Defect Removal Efficiency, and Defect Density, to track and enhance performance.
Designed and executed 1,000+ automated test cases within three months, streamlining test execution across applications.
