Case Study: an engineering company saves £1 million with Planit’s test process optimisation and managed testing service

How reducing the number of defects found in production saved this engineering company £1 million and thousands of hours in downtime in just one year

Planit partnered with an engineering company that was facing a significant challenge with software quality. The client had a high volume of defects reaching its production environment, which caused extensive system downtime and negatively impacted the perception of its IT department. A Test Process Optimisation (TPO) by Planit revealed a 1:1 ratio of defects found in testing versus production.

Planit implemented a managed service, engaging testing earlier in the project lifecycle and introducing new methodologies like AGILE. By moving defect detection into the requirements phase, they drastically reduced defects. This solution saved the engineering company £1 million and thousands of hours of downtime in the first year alone. Planit's work also improved the overall maturity of the client's testing processes and the perception of software quality across the business.
