Case Study: Discovery Communications achieves automated business process validation across sales, finance and SAP with Worksoft Certify

Automated Business Process Validation Advances at Discovery Communications

Discovery Communications, the world’s leading pay‑TV programmer with nearly three billion cumulative subscribers in more than 220 countries, needed to validate critical business processes across affiliate sales, advertising sales, program scheduling and financial operations. Manual and script‑based testing could no longer keep pace with fast business and technology changes, and Discovery required an automation solution that could validate processes across SAP, multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE), Microsoft Silverlight and numerous in‑house and commercial applications.

Discovery selected the Worksoft Certify Suite to automate end‑to‑end business process validation. Using Certify Data, Certify Impact, Certify Business Process Procedure and Certify Execution Manager, the company achieved broader test coverage and lights‑out automation of hundreds of processes, enabling seamless validation across disparate applications, stronger risk‑based testing and reliable support for mission‑critical operations.
