Case Study: Benefact Group saves £100k a year and halves testing time with Original Software

Benefact Group saves £100k/year and halves testing time with Original Software

Benefact Group, a charity-owned insurance group, faced a major challenge with manual, time-consuming testing, especially on their legacy IBM i-Series green screen applications. This process heavily relied on skilled underwriters and external testers, slowing releases and incurring high costs. They sought a platform-agnostic automation solution from Original Software to increase testing volume and free up their underwriting staff.

Original Software implemented its Testing Platform to automate regression and system testing across IBM i green screens and web applications. This code-free automation enabled data-driven testing, drastically expanding coverage. The results were transformative: Benefact Group saved approximately £100,000 annually by redeploying six underwriters, halved their testing time, and increased test volume tenfold, running over 1,000 scenarios with greater accuracy.
