Brotherhood Mutual will implement Original Software’s complete server-side and browser-based testing tools, including TestBench, TestDrive, TestSmart and TestPlan. These automated tools will help the company balance business risk against the cost associated with time and resource required for the major software migration.
Automated testing drastically reduces time spent on labor intensive manual testing, resulting in more reliable services to our customers, said Daryl Pannabecker, VP information technology, Brotherhood Mutual. The insurance industry is built around trust. By improving our internal software testing practices we’ll be able to reduce software glitches and continue to build that trust with our customers.
As a US-based insurance company, Brotherhood Mutual also needs to abide by regulatory guidelines for its IT systems. Proof of well-tested software is required under the CobIT objectives IT framework of the U.-based Sarbanes-Oxley regulatory act. Original Software’s automated testing tools address all 71 CobIT objectives that relate to software quality directly.
The Original Software automated testing applications are designed to work with any browser, GUI or legacy green screen application, and the company says it leads the industry in total testing solutions for Oracle database and IBM iSeries applications.
