Case Study: Macmillan achieves 2-day test cycles and 60% higher test coverage with Original Software

Macmillan - Customer Case Study

Macmillan Cancer Support is a leading UK charity that helps improve the quality of life for people living with cancer. Their core systems run on an IBM iSeries platform, but manual, reactive and informal testing had become a major bottleneck in system and application updates, allowing errors to slip into the live environment and creating heavy pressure on limited resources.

Original Software implemented TestBench and TestDrive to pinpoint error locations, build reusable test packs, and provide self‑healing GUI scripts that integrate with the test repository. The changes cut the test cycle from six days to two, increased test coverage and scenarios by 60%, greatly reduced script maintenance, improved code quality and deployment speed, and delivered fewer errors, less rework and higher departmental productivity.
