Every time the client introduces new products into the\u00a0energy<\/a>\u00a0market, it has to make underlying changes to the code base. New tariffs mean new documentation, new customer instructions and additions to the database rate tables. Get it wrong and it can have regulatory, financial and reputational repercussions. In the past, every change required four test specialists to run through 20 test scenarios, typically taking five days.<\/p>

A time consuming and largely manual process, it was prone to error and was a major contributor to the four-week timescales it took to rollout new products. For them to stand out in the highly competitive utilities sector, it needed to significantly reduce its time to market.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When they introduced\u00a0agile\u00a0project management methodology in order to get its products to market faster, Expleo brought its testing and methodology expertise into play, as well as its existing knowledge of their systems and processes. By fully automating the\u00a0test\u00a0and assurance regime, the Expleo specialists who were embedded into the project team sought to reduce timescales and human error rates.<\/p>

The results were outstanding, bringing greater speed, efficiency and quality to product rollout. Testing timescales were cut from\u00a0five days to two hours<\/strong>, allowing product introduction to fall from\u00a0four weeks to just four days<\/strong>. In addition, increased automation reduced error rates and meant that multiple products could be tested and launched simultaneously, bringing even greater efficiency to the process. As a result, they launched defect-free products on to the market, helping it\u00a0stay one step ahead of its rivals<\/strong>. The success of a project was also recognised at the company\u2019s internal awards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
