QA Strategy for Modernization
and Digital Transformation for
an Insurance Major

The Challenge

The insurance carrier had deployed a test automation strategy that proved inadequate. With a traditional approach to automation, the initiative had succeeded in achieving only 10-15% automation coverage over several years and was limited to web applications & web services, thereby delivering little or no value to the business.

In search of a radically different approach to solving the challenge, the insurance carrier approached SLK with a mandate to automate all their business-critical applications within one year. They looked to implement a robust QA automation strategy that would leverage the right tools to enable them to move to continuous testing and significantly reduce the time spent on regression testing, allowing in-sprint automation and power-on-demand releases.

The Solution

SLK partnered with an expert team to perform the Lift Shift Migration approach. SLK completely owned the testing engagement for this migration initiative.

SLK’s multi-skilled team of QA experts SLK implemented the QA strategy on an Iterative model across three phases.

Discovery:

Legacy Application analysis and baseline to compare the target state application for Functional, Data migration & Performance testing.

Implementation:

End-to-end test cases automated with a low code platform regression automation suite developed for every iteration execution, reducing the execution time by 50%.

UAT:
