Case Study: ASB Bank achieves 70% testing cost reduction and accelerated time-to-value with Tricentis

ASB accelerates time to value, reduces costs, and optimizes efficiency

ASB, New Zealand’s first savings bank founded in 1847 with over one million customers, runs the FastNet Classic internet banking site alongside HTML portals, Win32 apps, and SAP systems. Short release cycles increased the need for regression testing, and manual testing created scheduling and cost pressures; previous script-based automation attempts failed due to high maintenance and overhead.

Tricentis implemented a model-based automation of ASB’s core regression suite, making all test cases and end-to-end scenarios part of a continuous process and catching defects earlier and those missed by manual testing. The change eliminated script maintenance, reduced testing costs by over 70% annually, boosted efficiency to 99%, cut time to value to 12 hours, and reached break-even in 11 months.
