Offering a wide range of affordable choices of healthcare services acts as a major differentiator in today’s highly competitive market. 

The customer, a Michigan-based non-profit organization, wanted to offer multiple healthcare plans and associated benefits to more than 4.3 million people living in the state. However, rolling out new health plans and/or updating existing plans were time-consuming tasks due to heavy dependency on regression testing. They needed to automate their testing process so as to roll-out new health plans faster and stay ahead of the competition.

A thorough analysis of the customer’s existing processes revealed various challenges like:

• Lack of agility and flexibility in providing multiple health plan choices and administering healthcare benefits to 4.3 million members
• Modifying existing health plans or introducing new ones was challenging and time-consuming since both involved executing 6000 regression test cases
• Gaining a competitive advantage was challenged by delayed go-to-market (GTM) plans for new product/service offerings

Apexon proposed an automated testing solution that included:

• Increasing the coverage of the application used for configuring new healthcare plans
• Involving SMEs to understand the regression test cases for consolidating the test cases
• Developing an automation framework for functional testing from ground-up 
• Validating all critical business rules by testing 6000 plus scenarios across 15 applications
