Case Study: Sogecap (Société Générale) achieves dramatic regression-testing time savings — cutting cycles from weeks to days — with ARCAD Software's ARCAD‑Verifier

Sogecap automates production of regression tests with ARCAD-Verifier

Societe Generale’s life insurance arm, Sogecap, faced a heavy manual testing burden for its IBM i savings-contract applications: regression testing across ~4,000 tables and thousands of programs was slow, incomplete and complex. Seeking a solution, they selected ARCAD Software’s ARCAD‑Verifier to automate impact analysis and regression testing.

ARCAD Software implemented ARCAD‑Verifier with customizations to fit Sogecap’s environment, enabling capture/replay scenarios, database access interception, dynamic multi-environment library handling and automated data reconstruction. The results were dramatic: regression cycles that once took 15+ days now take a day, replay and review of 800 scenarios now takes a week instead of 1.5 months, the team created 1,500 test scenarios, and ARCAD‑Verifier covers roughly 90% of cases while ongoing vendor enhancements continue to improve coverage and productivity.
