Finance-Case Study
A leading entertainment production accounting and payroll software provider faced significant challenges in maintaining product quality and ensuring timely releases for their U.S. and U.K. markets. Frequent biweekly patch releases, coupled with critical seasonal (summer and winter) updates, demanded meticulous testing to uphold functionality and user experience. With growing client demands, including major studios like NBC Universal and Fox Entertainment, there was a pressing need for scalable testing solutions, domain expertise, and automation to meet industry standards.
The solution involved expanding the testing team and using expert knowledge to ensure the software met U.S. and U.K. standards. The team tested the software thoroughly with manual checks and automated some tests to speed up the process. This made testing 35% faster and ensured the software always worked as needed for important updates, meeting client expectations.
