Case Study: Leading Big Box Retailer achieves 90%+ test coverage and on-time e-commerce launch with Appvance.ai

AIQ Rapidly Responds Under Deadline Pressure to Rescue App Debut for Big Box Retailer

Leading Big Box Retailer, a membership-based big-box chain, needed to launch a new online ordering system quickly during the COVID-19 pandemic but was blocked by a slow, manual QA process with estimated test coverage under 10%. To meet the imminent rollout deadline they turned to Appvance.ai and its AI-native testing platform, AIQ, to add fast, scalable automated testing without disrupting development.

Appvance.ai Blueprinted the application and used AIQ’s generative testing to create thousands of scripts, achieving over 90% application coverage in two weeks; QA productivity and responsiveness increased without added headcount, enabling the retailer to ship on time. The engagement delivered measurable outcomes—reliable visibility into test coverage, QA able to keep pace with development, and continuous delivery capability—while establishing an AI-native quality methodology for future rapid change.
