SLK leveraged QA Automation to enable the Insurance Carrier to seamlessly lift and shift its legacy stack to a modern MS Azure cloud-based instance. Consequently accelerating go-to-market and improving quality.
Case Summary
An American Insurance Company, Fortune 500 Insurance Carrier & Commercial Auto Insurer in the United States, was looking to modernize its application portfolio hosted on legacy mainframes. The digital transformation exercise involved migrating the applications to MS Azure based instances.
SLK owned and executed the end-to-end QA strategy for the modernization project successfully leveraging its low-code test automation platform to shrink the execution time and accelerate the go-to-market.
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.
