ACME Retail
How ACME Retail transformed their testing workflows with Automata
Overview
ACME Retail, a leading e-commerce platform with over 50 million monthly active users, needed to accelerate their testing processes to keep pace with rapid feature deployments. With a growing product catalog and increasing customer expectations, their QA team struggled to maintain comprehensive test coverage across their web and mobile platforms.
Their journey with Automata, TestComposer, and TestFabric delivered measurable improvements in test creation speed, coverage, and deployment confidence. Within 3 months of implementation, ACME Retail reduced test creation time by 80% and increased test coverage by 65%.

Challenges
ACME Retail faced significant challenges in their testing workflows that impacted their ability to ship features quickly.
Legacy Test Infrastructure
Outdated testing tools and fragmented test suites made it difficult to maintain comprehensive coverage across their e-commerce platform. Test scripts were written manually, taking 4-6 hours per test case, and required constant maintenance as the application evolved.
Rapid Feature Deployment
With weekly releases and multiple feature branches, the QA team couldn't keep up with the pace of development. Critical bugs were discovered late in the release cycle, causing delays and impacting customer experience.
Limited Test Coverage
Only 45% of critical user journeys were covered by automated tests. Manual testing was time-consuming and error-prone, leading to inconsistent quality across releases.
Cross-Browser & Device Testing
Testing across multiple browsers and devices required significant manual effort. The team needed a solution that could generate tests compatible with their existing Selenium Grid infrastructure.
Solution
ACME Retail implemented our integrated testing platform to streamline their test creation and maintenance workflows.
🚀Automata Implementation
ACME Retail integrated Automata into their existing CI/CD pipeline. QA engineers began describing test cases in natural language, and Automata generated production-ready Selenium scripts in minutes. The team created over 500 test scripts in the first month alone.
- • Integrated with existing Selenium Grid for cross-browser testing
- • Generated scripts followed ACME's coding standards and naming conventions
- • Seamless integration with Jenkins for automated test execution
- • Support for both web and mobile test scenarios
⚡TestComposer Integration
TestComposer helped improve existing test scripts by suggesting optimizations, identifying flaky tests, and recommending better selectors. This reduced test maintenance overhead by 60%.
🔧TestFabric Framework Generation
TestFabric enabled the team to generate consistent test frameworks for new features, ensuring all tests followed the same patterns and best practices.
Results
The integrated platform delivered measurable improvements across key metrics.
Faster Test Creation
Reduced test creation time from 4-6 hours to 45-60 minutes per test case. The team now creates 10x more tests in the same timeframe.
Increased Coverage
Test coverage increased from 45% to 75% of critical user journeys within 3 months of implementation.
Fewer Production Bugs
Reduced production bugs by 50% through comprehensive test coverage and early bug detection.
Faster Releases
Enabled weekly releases with confidence, reducing release cycle time from 3 weeks to 1 week.
"Automata has transformed how we approach test automation. What used to take days now takes hours, and our test coverage has improved dramatically. We've been able to ship features faster with greater confidence in quality."
