Case Study: L&A Insurance Company accelerates test automation and product launches with ValueMomentum

L&A Insurance Company Optimizes Test Automation in Transitioning to a Modern Insurance Platform

L&A Insurance Company, a U.S.-based insurer serving military service members and eligible discharged members, needed to speed up its transition from legacy systems to the Accenture Life Insurance Platform (ALIP). Manual testing was slowing time to market, limiting test coverage, increasing defect leakage, and delaying new product launches such as Flagship Whole Life and Universal Life. ValueMomentum’s QA & Testing services, including test automation, were brought in to address these challenges.

ValueMomentum implemented an industry-focused automated testing framework using Selenium, SOAP UI, Surefire, SVN, and TestNG. The solution cut ALIP smoke testing from 4 hours to 20 minutes, reduced full regression testing from 4–5 days to 4 hours, expanded testing from a few hundred scenarios to more than 2,000 combinations in under 7 hours, and uncovered over 75 defects per hour per product. The insurer reported about 200 hours of monthly savings and ROI rising from 200% in six months to 300% within nine months.
