Case Study: Fortune 500 Aerospace and Defense Company achieves reduced test maintenance and shift-left testing with Functionize

Fortune 500 Aerospace and Defense Company Shifts Left with Functionize

Fortune 500 Aerospace and Defense Company, a US-based global leader undergoing a company-wide shift to Agile, faced an increasingly brittle, homegrown Selenium-style test automation framework that only a few engineers could maintain. Needing an on‑premise, easy-to-use solution that supported business-readable tests, cross‑browser/platform execution, and Jenkins integration, they evaluated several vendors and chose Functionize and its intelligent testing platform (including the no-code Architect test recorder) to replace their legacy system.

Functionize was deployed on the company’s infrastructure via Docker and integrated with their Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to trigger nightly regressions and enable tests after every sprint. The platform’s visual, screenshot-based testing and no-code test creation made tests easy for the whole team to author and for business users to interpret, significantly reducing test maintenance, increasing automation coverage across browsers and platforms, and making the testing process far more transparent.
