Case Study: Leading Media And Entertainment Company achieves 100% test coverage, dramatically faster releases, and improved code quality with Skytap

Improved code quality, test coverage, and time to market across multiple lines of business by evolving DevOps workflow with Skytap Cloud

A leading media and entertainment company (NBCUniversal) struggled with poor test coverage, lengthy 45‑day test cycles and slow, manual environment provisioning—relying on a single server for a 1,000‑case regression suite that allowed bugs into production and delayed releases.

By adopting Skytap Cloud with IBM UrbanCode, teams gained self‑service, on‑demand environments and the ability to run tests in parallel. Test coverage rose from 20% to 100%, cycle time dropped from 45 days to hours (tests that once took weeks now run in ~30 minutes across 50 environments), and environments can be created, cloned or destroyed in seconds—dramatically improving code quality and time to market.
