A SmartBear Case Study
Optria, a specialist in communications and marketing solutions for financial services, needed to ensure the stability of its multi‑platform event management product, Kinetique. The system’s components run on IBM iSeries (Java/C++) and Microsoft .NET (C#), and end‑to‑end testing requires strict sequencing, timing and nightly builds to validate functionality, capacity and scalability across platforms.
After evaluating tools, Optria adopted SmartBear TestComplete to script and run automated, sequenced end‑to‑end tests across all components. TestComplete enabled nightly runs outside office hours, early failure detection and repeatable scripts, freeing staff for higher‑value work, reducing QA costs, producing faster, cleaner releases and boosting confidence—15 test cases are complete with plans to expand.
