How Ascensus Tripled its CRM Testing Efficiency
Who is Ascensus?
Ascensus is the largest recordkeeping services provider in the US, specializing in retirement, college savings, and health savings account administration. To ensure reliability and efficiency across platforms, Ascensus has been utilizing test automation software to maintain high quality and performance for their digital solutions.
THE CHALLENGE
Manual testing errors and wasted time
Ascensus relies on Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM to manage customer relationships and business growth. This application is business-critical for Ascensus. Previously, their QA strategy involved 100% manual testing, but this was slow and costly.
The CRM team faced several challenges:
– Excessive time spent on regression testing, especially following D365 updates.
– Inability to achieve desired test coverage with limited testing resources.
– Manual testing errors leading to bugs in production and service disruptions.
Unable to shift focus from maintaining the CRM to driving innovation.
