Case Study: HMV achieves on-time Euro rollout and full quality assurance with Original Software's TestBench

HMV - Customer Case Study

HMV, the UK & Ireland’s leading specialist retailer of music, video and games with around 200 stores and a busy online shop, faced a critical challenge: converting all databases and fully testing a new Euro currency system for its Irish stores under a tight deadline. Their Quality Assurance team needed a reliable, automated approach to ensure the system could go live on time without compromising data integrity.

Original Software deployed TestBench on a multi‑site license so QA could script tests while developers executed them, improving cross‑team collaboration and reducing manual testing overhead. The solution exposed data‑integrity issues and inefficient programs, enabled thorough testing that met the deadline, and delivered the live Euro system on schedule—backed by responsive support from Original Software.
