Case Study: Kommunale Datenverarbeitung Oldenburg (KDO) achieves faster testing cycles with Tricentis Tosca

KDO boosts test coverage to 70% with Tricentis

Kommunale Datenverarbeitung Oldenburg (kdo), a large municipal IT service provider, faced challenges with cumbersome test maintenance and increasing testing requirements for its complex KDO-Jugendwesen application. To improve efficiency and software quality, kdo sought to implement a foundation for a comprehensive, agile testing infrastructure and chose to adopt test automation with the vendor Tricentis and their product, Tricentis Tosca.

By implementing Tricentis Tosca and following a structured transformation process, kdo achieved significant results. The solution led to a 36% higher automation rate within one year, resulting in 70% test coverage. Testing cycles became 75% faster, and the false-positive rate dropped dramatically from 50% to 10%. This measurable impact substantially increased software quality, stability, and confidence for both kdo and its customers.
