Farmad automates 95% of Regression Testing thanks to BDO

Case study of a successful Leapwork implementation

Farmad specialises in providing software solutions for pharmacists in the Flemish market. They offer a range of pharmacy management software and related services to support efficient pharmacy operations, patient safety, and regulatory compliance.  

 

Challenges that Farmad faced

Before implementing the Leapwork Automation Tool, Farmad faced several challenges in testing their software. They had a dedicated test team responsible for manual testing of new features and for regression testing. However, the workload was overwhelming, leading to bugs going unnoticed and concerns about handling future feature development. 

Time constraints prevented the execution of many identified test cases. Insufficient testing posed the risk of malfunctioning software being deployed to pharmacists, potentially resulting in client dissatisfactionoperational issues for pharmacists, and errors in payment processes.  

 

BDO's tailored approach & solutions

Having worked together on other transformation projects with BDO, Farmad contacted the experts of BDO Digital to help them with these testing challenges. 

After several demos and getting a recommendation by BDO, Farmad chose Leapwork as the main tool for their test automation journey. 

It took the testing team approximately two weeks to get started with the accessible platform, thanks to the strong support of BDO’s Digital experts. Who also trained Farmad’s QA team to construct automation flows while utilising best practices with reusable components

Impact & results

The combined support of BDO and Leapwork has enabled Farmad to achieve an efficient and scalable testing process, leading to enhanced software quality and customer satisfaction
The implementation of the test automation platform has delivered numerous benefits, including shorter testing periods and faster release cycles

Farmad has shifted from mostly manual testing new features and limited regression testing to 95% automated regression testing, freeing up time for the test team to do exploratory testing. This has improved software quality, enabled faster feature deliveries, and enhanced efficiency

Test automation has promoted business continuity and stability by minimising bugs and issues, providing a consistent user experience. The long-term cost savings are substantial, making regression testing highly cost-effective for Farmad. 

By delivering reliable and effective software solutions, Farmad can contribute to the smooth functioning of pharmacies, enhance patient care, and uphold industry standards. 

“With the help of BDO, we had real results within 14 days of starting our automation journey.” 
“With Leapwork, we have been able to reduce the duration of our test cycles from 2 weeks to 2 days.”
