Case Study: Leading U.K. Energy Supplying Company achieves 50% faster software releases and a #1 smart‑home app with Cognizant

Speedy Quality for Smart Home Solution

Cognizant partnered with a leading U.K. energy supplier entering the device‑heavy smart home market to address complex, safety‑critical QA needs. Because smart homes require extensive end‑to‑end testing and manual simulation of user interactions is slow and error‑prone, the client sought an automated QA solution that could validate interoperability across devices and apps.

Cognizant built a simulated home‑automation lab and deployed its TEBOT IP to mimic human‑to‑device interactions, delivering a fully automated, pay‑as‑you‑go QA service. The approach halved software release time, helped the smart‑home app reach #1 on the U.K. iOS App Store, and earned the “Best Use of Technology” award at TESTA.
