Case Study: Siemens achieves scalable regression test automation with Expleo’s Test Automation FaQtory®

Large-scale test automation and regression testing solution for Siemens PLM Software

Siemens PLM, a leading global provider of product lifecycle management software, faced a significant challenge in managing the regression testing for its complex and frequently updated product. With tens of thousands of test cases and a reliance on a limited number of subject matter experts, their manual processes led to quality issues and potential delays. Expleo was engaged to implement a large-scale test automation solution to address this.

Expleo implemented its Test Automation FaQtory, an assembly-line style solution that separated the work among specialized teams for subject matter expertise, framework design, and automation. This model, supported by custom tools and an output-based pricing structure, enabled massive scalability. The results transferred the risk of successful deployment to Expleo, incentivized ongoing efficiency, and established a true partnership, ensuring Siemens PLM only paid for successfully delivered test case automation.
