Major Pharmaceutical Company Undergoes Testing Transformation to Reduce Costs and Improve Overall Testing Process

A US headquartered global pharmaceutical corporation with over $16B in annual revenues faced the increasingly challenging issue of rising testing costs. The solution, provided by their testing services partner, included Conformiq Creator, which enabled them to achieve a 94% test efficiency gain.

International Financial Organization Accelerates Testing of its Customized SAP Applications for Faster Deployment

An international financial institution, headquartered in the United States, providing loans to developing countries for capital programs to promote international trade, was looking for a testing process improvement. Their manual testing methodology was taking too long and allowing defects to slip through into deployment. Clearly, investing in more testers or spending more time testing were not options they wanted to pursue. The bank realized it was time to look to new technology from Conformiq to improve both time to deployment as well as reducing defect slip-through.

Agility and MBT applied to software communication client project at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise

Alcatel-Lucent used Conformiq Designer in Agile software development project, developing communication client. Case study focuses on benefits of combining Conformiq Model Based Testing and Scrum. Mathieu Pamard and Ronan Thepaut from Alcatel-Lucent show how human readable test cases and machine readable test script for automated test execution are generated automatically from models with Conformiq Designer, enabling in-sprint test automation.

Adoption of MBT in Continuous Process Control Applications

For industrial control, Conformiq with Model Based testing (MBT) and system modeling with state machines was successfully applied to continuous process control applications. This approach, with control system design templates for reuse, found real process control loop bugs, hard to find using manual methods. Results: improved factory acceptance testing with a distributed control system and control loops; reduced manual work; higher test quality and coverage.

Model Based Testing for VoIP Phones

Avaya applied Conformiq Model Based Testing methodology for developing Internet telephony system. Avaya was facing a challenge of not being able to scale the resourcing and testing methodology to respond to increasing number of product features to test. By switching to Conformiq Model Based Testing methodology, Avaya achieved up to 5x productivity gains in testing within six months.

Model-Based Testing (WP7)

In this case study by automotiveHMI (co-operation with Audi, Porsche, Daimler, Volkswagen, MAN, Bosch, Continental), Dr. Christoph Steglich from Daimler AG discusses the approaches that Audi and Daimler have used for Model Based Testing. Model based testing is used to generate tests automatically from model that describes system behavior.
