About Our Customer
MX Logic, Inc. offers managed email and web security services in the United States and internationally. It provides Email Defense Solutions that protect against email-borne threats and assist businesses in meeting compliance regulations through email storage, retrieval, and surveillance.
Industry: Network Security
Country: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
Company Size: 501 - 1,000 employees
The Challenge
MX Logic had to manually execute a suite of 423 software tests to assess its security software, which proved to be extremely time-consuming due to:
- Manual testing of their software’s functionality was consuming approximately 240 person-hours.
- Build acceptance testing was conducted on an ad-hoc basis, depending on time availability.
The Solution
LogiGear implemented an automated testing program for MX Logic utilizing low-cost offshore testing resources in Vietnam and TestArchitect.
As a result, the client was able to automate all existing manual test cases, including acceptance test cases, and expand to a total of 945 automated scripts.
The Result
With TestArchitect, test coverage increased by 40%, and it took only about 150 machine hours to fully execute, compared to 500 person-hours when working manually.
Additionally, the acceptance test scripts required only 2 machine hours instead of 8 hours of manual testing.
As a result, the client’s testing costs could have been reduced by about $1 million or more.
