About our Customer

McAfee is a worldwide leader in online protection focused on protecting people. Their solutions adapt to customers’ needs and empower them to confidently experience life online through integrated, easy-to-use solutions

The Challenges

McAfee was spending 240 working hours to execute 423 manual test cases causing a significant bottleneck. It created higher costs, less quality builds and unproductive efforts. They needed automated functional and acceptance testing to improve quality and save time. 

The Solutions

LogiGear’s automated software testing solution allowed McAfee to automate 100% of their manual tests and expand the test suite to 945 automated scripts

LogiGear also created an automated build acceptance test to run on every build, ensuring the testing effort would be well-spent

Upon review with LogiGear Services, McAfee set up an automated software testing solution to automate 100% of their manual tests and expand the test suite to 945 automated scripts. 

LogiGear implemented an automated build acceptance test that runs with every build, guaranteeing efficient utilization of testing efforts.

The Results

LogiGear services team utilized the automation tool, TestArchitect. They were able to increase coverage from 50% to 90%, and the test suite took only 150 machine hours instead of the 240 person hours per cycle in previous efforts. 

Compared to the previous 8-hour manual testing, the acceptance automated script could now be executed in under 2 hours. These significant time savings allowed the client team to focus more on their exploratory testing. 

“LogiGear has delivered a fully innovative turnkey solution that is fully automated, low-cost and has expanded our testing coverage to 90%,” says Jamie Tischart, Senior Director of QA at McAfee. “While reviewing any test automation initiative, it is important to understand that a successful test automation project requires care and maintenance. Not only does LogiGear provide us with an excellent test automation tool in TestArchitect, it provides me with the cost effective resources to enhance and maintain our automation projects. With a comparable feature set to more expensive licensed tools, my automation budget can be utilized on both the tool and the engineers to support it for the same price. And this guarantees the success of our automation, where others fail.”
