Farmad automates 95% of regression testing

Challenge

Farmad specializes in providing software solutions for pharmacists in the Flemish market. They offer a range of pharmacy management software and related services to support efficient pharmacy operations, patient safety, and regulatory compliance.

Before implementing Leapwork, Farmad faced several challenges in testing their software. They had a dedicated test team responsible for manual testing of new features and for regression testing. However, the workload was overwhelming, leading to bugs going unnoticed and concerns about handling future feature development.

Time constraints prevented the execution of many identified test cases. Insufficient testing posed the risk of erroneous software being deployed to pharmacists, potentially resulting in client dissatisfaction, operational issues for pharmacists, and errors in payment processes.

Impact

The combined support of Leapwork and BDO has enabled Farmad to achieve an efficient and scalable testing process, leading to enhanced software quality and customer satisfaction.

Leapwork's test automation platform has delivered numerous benefits, including shorter testing periods and faster release cycles.

Farmad has shifted from mostly manual testing new features and limited regression testing to 95% automated regression testing in Leapwork, freeing up time for the test team to do exploratory testing. This has improved software quality, enabled faster feature deliveries, and enhanced efficiency.

Test automation has promoted business continuity and stability by minimizing bugs and issues, providing a consistent user experience. The long-term cost savings are substantial, making regression testing highly cost-effective for Farmad.

By delivering reliable and effective software solutions, Farmad can contribute to the smooth functioning of pharmacies, enhance patient care, and uphold industry standards.
