50% Higher Test Coverage and Improved Automation For A Life Sciences Tech Leader

A global leader in healthcare analytics and clinical research, the client delivers cutting-edge technology solutions to advance life sciences outcomes. As part of their digital evolution, the organization aimed to streamline quality assurance for their OCE (Orchestrated Customer Engagement) application—a critical system used in driving business productivity and engagement. However, the automation journey faced several roadblocks. Manual testing remained prevalent due to the absence of comprehensive automation scripts across key functional areas. Disconnected teams across geographies further hindered coordination, and script maintenance lagged along with ongoing application updates. Additionally, with the use of open-source AI tools like Codium and Tabnine, concerns around security and compliance surfaced, demanding close oversight.
Ascendion engineered a flexible automation framework using Selenium, integrated with Codium and Tabnine to accelerate script development. This approach not only enhanced productivity but also ensured resilience to application changes.
The team adopted Agile Scrum methodology to ensure faster iterations and regular stakeholder feedback. This helped align priorities, track progress effectively, and ensure milestones were met on time without compromising on quality.
To ensure system robustness, Neoload was used for performance testing and Gremlin for chaos engineering—validating how the application would perform under stress and failure scenarios. Continuous security assessments ensured that AI-based tools didn’t introduce vulnerabilities into the testing ecosystem.
Dedicated communication channels and structured routines improved synergy between onshore and offshore teams. A culture of continuous improvement was fostered through regular audits, innovation sessions, and transparent feedback loops.
