Case Study: Dow Chemical Company achieves 80% automation and 8,000 hours saved with Worksoft

Dow Chemical Achieves Higher Quality with Less Effort Through Automation

Dow Chemical, a global manufacturer with 6,000 products across 200+ sites in 36 countries, faced a complex IT landscape supporting diverse business lines and enterprise applications. The company needed to maintain high-quality business process execution while cutting the time and cost of manual testing and reducing production defects.

Dow implemented Worksoft’s automation suite to validate more than 600 business process scenarios, automating roughly 80% of regression testing across SAP and other systems. The program saved about 8,000 labor hours in 2014, sped test cycles by 50%, and reduced production defects by ~25%, while reusable test components and an easy-to-learn platform improved maintainability and staffing resilience; next steps include broader non‑SAP coverage and “lights‑out” scheduled testing.
