Case Study: University of Michigan achieves 85% reduction in scripting workload with Keysight's Eggplant Functional

Ease the Workload of Developing Scripts – Reduce Workflows by 85%

The University of Michigan needed to test a large Epic EMR rollout running on Citrix and was struggling with heavy manual test preparation—creating thousands of test patients and executing repetitive workflows that took up to 10 minutes per new patient registration. Their existing GUI automation tool could not handle the Citrix-based Epic environment, so the University of Michigan turned to Keysight and its Eggplant Functional solution to meet their automation requirements.

Keysight’s Eggplant Functional, an image-based, technology-agnostic GUI testing tool, was used to populate test environments and automate complex scripts such as patient registration, scheduling, admits, and bulk order entry for CPOE. The result: single patient creation time dropped from 10 minutes to 1.5 minutes (an ~85% reduction), testers were freed to focus on higher-value functional and regression testing, and Keysight’s solution improved regression coverage and scalability for future cross-platform and mobile testing.
