Cainz Corporation reduces man-hours with AI-powered test automation tool, Autify / AI-powered test automation tool, Autify, supports Cainz Corporation’s test automation efforts

Autify, Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryo Chikazawa) has started providing its AI-powered test automation solution, Autify, to Cainz Corporation to streamline software testing and improve the quality of its e-commerce website and internal applications, including critical systems. As a result, Cainz achieved a significant reduction in man-hours within approximately 6 months of implementing Autify.

Cainz Online Shop, the official online shopping site provided by Cainz Corporation, offers a wide variety of products useful in everyday life, including original and innovative Cainz products. It also allows users to check product availability and place orders. Before implementing Autify, the company faced the following cost, organizational structure, and quality challenges:

• Cost

The potential for time savings was limited with manual regression testing. In addition, as new features were added and the scope of testing expanded, more people were required, which would result in significantly higher costs.

• Organizational structure

Given the varying skill levels of the testers, the time required to complete the test differed from one tester to the next.

• Quality

There was a discrepancy between the environments in which the e-commerce site was tested and those in which it is likely to be used. The number of environments in which testing was performed was limited, while the site is expected to be used in a wide variety of contexts.

Additionally, there was a key person dependency issue. Some details were omitted from the test cases due to the author’s tacit knowledge.

‍

Faced with these challenges, the company implemented Autify to reduce man-hours, resulting in optimized human resources and costs. Autify paid for itself in 6 months and the company now has a system that continuously reduces costs.

In addition, the team has created a workflow that executes tests consistently and reliably, allowing them to identify problems as they arise.

A message from Mr Hitoshi Tamura, Cainz Corporation

By implementing Autify's automated testing tool, we were able to automate the regression testing for our e-commerce store that we previously performed manually. This resulted in a significant reduction in man-hours and costs in a relatively short period of time.

Automated testing is an invaluable tool for streamlining the testing process, and we have achieved both quality assurance and cost reduction by using it more extensively. 

In addition, Autify continues to add features and evolve, allowing us to automatically test areas that were previously infeasible. 

In order to continue to provide an online store where customers can shop with confidence, we intend to use automated testing with Autify as a means of quality assurance.
