Case Study: InterSystems achieves faster mobile test automation and major cost savings with Perforce and InfoStretch

InterSystems cuts mobile test automation time to 5–8 minutes with Perforce

InterSystems, a major healthcare organization, faced significant challenges with slow mobile app release cycles due to an overwhelmingly manual testing process. The growing number of app features made manual testing cycles longer and more expensive, creating a critical need for increased automation. To address this, InterSystems turned to Perforce and its partner InfoStretch, leveraging the Perfecto cloud-based lab to accelerate their test automation.

Perforce and InfoStretch implemented an Appium automation framework integrated into the Jenkins CI pipeline, utilizing Perfecto's cloud lab for parallel testing. This solution delivered substantial results, including over $1.3 million in operational savings in the first year and a 325% increase in automated test cases. The time to complete test executions was reduced by 21%, smoke testing time was cut from one week to six hours, and the development teams gained a total of 50 weeks in time-to-market.
