Standardizing test management across the enterprise

Velliv was already doing manual testing in OpenText Application Quality Management. It was only natural to choose the same test management tool to contain and orchestrate the automated tests in a close to similar manner as the manual tests. By keeping the application as close to out-of-the-box as possible, the team reduced complexity and ensured smoother implementation, by simply enabling the ALM Lab extension.

Building a centralized, scalable test automation framework

Under the leadership of test automation manager Benjamin Bennike Aagren, Velliv implemented a centralized automation framework using OpenText Functional Testing. Designed to support agile development teams, the framework enables one-click execution of automated tests to validate regression coverage.

The core requirements included using a widely adopted enterprise tool for ease of hiring and onboarding, maintaining a low-code environment to simplify adoption, and keeping maintenance costs manageable. “With OpenText Functional Testing, you have very good control,” said Aagren. “It’s kind of this very big elephant that can do everything. It can pull any load because it works on everything—all UIs and service calls. It hits all the technologies we might use across the company, and it integrates seamlessly with OpenText Application Quality Management.”

Enabling continuous quality and faster releases

The automation framework has transformed Velliv’s release cadence. Previously, regression tests were only run at the end of the quarterly major release deployments; the company now runs their regression test at every deployment, multiple times a week in test environments. Major releases still occur every three months. However, with automated validation happening continuously, defects are caught much earlier. With increased test coverage, which is only possible through test automation, much more is tested with much less manual effort.

The quality assurance team can now focus on testing new features while their regression checks run in one click, ensuring ongoing reliability and readiness for every deployment to a test environment.

Seamless integration across agile tooling and infrastructure

OpenText MF Connect Core synchronizes test tasks and incidents between OpenText Application Quality Management and Jira, providing updated traceability. The OpenText Application Quality Management dashboard offers visibility into test coverage, defect resolution, and time savings.

Although the tools are deployed as on-premises versions, they operate within Velliv’s private Amazon Cloud environment, which supports security, flexibility, and scalability.
