Case Study: COOP achieves 40% reduction in risk and testing time with Panaya

COOP cuts testing time by 40% with Panaya

Coop, one of the largest Swiss retail and wholesale cooperatives, faced a complex upgrade of its central SAP ERP systems. The challenge involved moving from EHP5 to EHP7 while also upgrading hardware and integrating new components, all of which affected over 5,000 users. Previously reliant on slow, manual testing, Coop needed a solution to reduce risk, improve testing quality, shorten the test phase, and better estimate the required effort for the project. They turned to Panaya for its cloud-based User Acceptance Testing solution.

By implementing Panaya, Coop managed the upgrade within the projected timeframe and budget. Panaya's analysis helped prioritize over 31,000 critical corrections from more than 180,000 references, allowing targeted fixes and eliminating critical errors after go-live. The partnership with Panaya resulted in a 53% reduction in total project scope and achieved 40% savings in testing effort, alongside 30% savings in code corrections.
