Case Study: Nutanix achieves faster test automation and broader coverage with Virtuoso

Nutanix speeds test automation 10x with Virtuoso

Nutanix, a provider of a comprehensive cloud platform, faced significant challenges in web application testing. Their in-house automation suite, Calmtest, required high coding skills, was difficult to maintain amidst rapid UI changes, and led to longer development cycles and incomplete test coverage. This created a problematic gap between software development engineers in test (SDETs) and quality assurance (QAs), hindering their ability to ensure software quality without slowing down their process.

Virtuoso resolved these issues by implementing its codeless test automation platform. The solution empowered manual testers to create scripts easily, featured self-healing tests to minimize maintenance, and dramatically increased automation speed. Using Virtuoso, Nutanix automated approximately 300 complex test scenarios, achieving test automation development that was roughly 10x faster. This resulted in a direct saving of 15-20 minutes on every code commit, significantly shorter ship times, and greater application coverage, all achieved with a small team of users.
