Case Study: Newport News Shipbuilding achieves faster testing and compliance documentation with Worksoft

Newport News Shipbuilding - Customer Case Study

Newport News Shipbuilding, a major U.S. Navy shipbuilder with a highly complex enterprise environment, needed a better way to manage SAP and other systems testing while also producing detailed SOX compliance documentation. The company turned to Worksoft for automated business process testing and documentation to reduce business disruption, improve quality, and handle frequent regression cycles across critical processes.

Worksoft implemented automation that generated step-by-step process documentation, screenshots, and execution logs, creating a central knowledge base for compliance and operations. The results were significant: regression testing time dropped from 4 weeks to 1 week, with test cycles cut from 177 hours to under 40 hours, and over 200 regression tests now run every other month. Worksoft helped Newport News Shipbuilding improve defect removal, increase test coverage across 47 workstreams, and free engineers for higher-value work.
