Scalable test automation for a healthcare data exchange
Test automation, a CI/CD pipeline and shared test procedures for software that connects doctors and hospitals with insurers.

- A Swiss healthcare IT company
- Where
- Switzerland
Challenge
The starting point
The company’s software supports doctors and healthcare facilities in their daily work and connects them with insurers, so medical data can be exchanged efficiently. As the business grew, testing became the bottleneck, and the stakes in healthcare are high. They asked us to help.
- No scalable test automation, so testing couldn't keep up with growing needs.
- Test processes that caused delays and let problems through.
- Heavy manual testing: slow, and prone to human error.
- Fragmented communication between teams and testers, which caused delays and misaligned goals.
- Little visibility into testing progress across departments, so defects were missed and coverage was patchy.
- Inconsistent test data, which made it hard to simulate real-world scenarios.
- No standard test procedures, so quality varied between teams and projects.
Approach
What we did
Tools
- Selenium
- Java
- CI/CD
- A test automation framework built for the company's growing needs, for faster runs and broader coverage across platforms.
- Standardised test workflows, so teams work together better and find defects sooner.
- Clearer communication channels between teams, so goals line up and testing moves faster.
- A continuous integration and delivery pipeline that runs the tests automatically, for faster and more consistent releases.
- Test data management practices that make realistic scenarios possible to test.
Results
What changed
- Broader test coverage, and less risk of issues going unnoticed.
- Closer collaboration with the developers, so issues are found and fixed sooner.
- More transparency and knowledge sharing: people understand the test process and take part in it.
