Case Study: Crestron Electronics achieves streamlined regression testing and faster bug detection with SmartBear TestComplete

Crestron Electronics Streamlines Regression Testing By Leveraging SmartBear TestComplete

Crestron Electronics provides a unified control platform that links lighting, HVAC, entertainment and other systems for homes and buildings, and sells software tools to channel partners worldwide. Faced with the need for more efficient, consistent regression testing of its desktop and web applications—testing that must catch bugs early to keep customer‑facing systems reliable—Crestron sought a solution that would integrate with its existing toolchain and scale across different application types.

After evaluating several options, Crestron chose SmartBear TestComplete for its broad automation support (desktop, web, rich clients, HTML5), cross‑browser testing and seamless integration with Crestron’s other tools, plus TestExecute for remote test runs. Automated regression runs have uncovered hundreds of bugs earlier in development, cut manual testing effort and costs, sped issue reporting into developers’ workflows, and improved software stability and end‑user experience—benefiting both channel resellers and their customers.
