Case Study: American Equity Investment Life Holding Company achieves scalable QA and hundreds of hours saved with QASymphony (qTest)

For American Equity Investment Life Holding Company, QASymphony has been a Key Partner to Help Strengthen Their QA Process

American Equity Investment Life Holding Company, a NYSE‑listed issuer of fixed annuity and life insurance products, rapidly expanded its IT team and found its QA process was overly manual—relying on Word documents that made tests hard to find and increased the risk of costly errors in complex annuity calculations. Improving efficiency, visibility, and the ability to scale testing became a top priority.

After evaluating 30 tools, the team selected qTest for its on‑premise deployment, ease of use, reusable test cases and qTest eXplorer for capturing errors. Implementation was smooth, and the solution cut test construction time, saved hundreds of documentation hours, reduced tester errors, provided defect history for root‑cause visibility, enabled business analysts to produce end‑user documentation, and delivered responsive vendor support.
