Case Study: Paychex achieves faster mobile test automation and improved device efficiency with Perforce Perfecto Mobile

Paychex speeds test automation development by 50% with Perforce

Paychex, a leading provider of payroll and HR solutions, faced significant challenges in testing its mobile applications. Their manual testing process, which required teams to share physical devices in a conference room, was inefficient and unsustainable. As app functionality grew more complex, Paychex needed a sustainable, cross-platform mobile test automation solution that could integrate with their existing HP UFT framework. They turned to the vendor Perforce and its Perfecto Mobile platform to meet their key requirements, which included access to real devices for testing.

Perforce's solution, Perfecto Mobile, provided robust test automation on centrally managed, real devices that integrated seamlessly with Paychex's HP UFT environment. This integration enabled a 50% faster development of test automation scripts. By automating the majority of their UI and regression testing, Paychex improved software quality, could reliably estimate test cycle durations, and scaled testing efficiently without needing additional resources. The Device-as-a-Service model also increased team efficiency by eliminating the need for internal device management and allowing distributed teams to access a shared device pool from their desktops.
