Case Study: Large UK Financial Services Company achieves 95% faster application delivery with OpenText automated testing solutions

Micro Focus® automated testing solutions support introduction of DevOps to improve customer service, team collaboration, and innovation

A large UK financial services firm with more than 200 years of history faced slow, costly software delivery due to a distributed IT model and waterfall processes. The bank needed to adopt agile and DevOps practices and introduce automated testing so teams could spend less time on manual testing, share knowledge across divisions, and accelerate delivery of customer-facing services.

The company standardized on Micro Focus automated testing solutions — UFT One, LoadRunner Professional, ALM and LoadRunner Enterprise — integrated with tools like Jenkins and JIRA and supported by regular knowledge-sharing sessions. The result: deployments are now 95% faster (from three days to under three hours), test automation coverage rose about 50%, full test environments spin up in under an hour, and the bank delivers higher-quality code more frequently and at lower cost.
