How Sohonet Build 400 Automated Regression Tests uncovering 20 hidden issues in 3 weeks

QASolve helped Sohonet expand regression coverage quickly – without code access, detailed specs, or a heavy implementation cycle.

THE TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY

1

Manual Testing

Regression testing had reverted to manual validation across core workflows.

2

Discovery

We analyzed critical workflows and defined risk-based test scope with Sohonet.

3

Automation Build

Built a scalable automation framework and 400+ regression tests in just 21 days.

4

Defect Discovery

Executed tests and uncovered 20+ hidden issues—some already in production.

5

Scalable Coverage

Established a reusable regression suite for continuous release validation.

From manual regression risk to a scalable validation layer

Using a lightweight engagement model, QASolve built a comprehensive regression suite with minimal involvement from Sohonet’s internal teams.

Problem
  • Regression testing had reverted to manual validation across Core workflows
  • Prior Selenium-based automation had been abandoned due to high maintenance cost and effort
  • Some issues were only discoverable through deeper end-to-end behavioral validation
  • Existing coverage could miss hidden workflow defects outside known scenarios
  • Expanding coverage manually would require additional QA time and capacity
Intervention
  • Kicked off with a single product demo — no code, specs, or test scripts required
  • Engagement was non-intrusive, with weekly check-ins to review findings and priorities
  • In 3 weeks, QASolve delivered 400+ automated regression tests
  • Validated positive, negative, and edge-case behaviors
  • Provided detailed issue reports with reproducible steps for engineering review
Measurable Outcomes
  • Created a reusable regression suite for ongoing release validation
  • Uncovered 20+ previously unknown issues
  • Client confirmed several findings were already present in production
  • Improved visibility into real workflow risk before future releases
  • Established a scalable foundation for continuous regression coverage
THE PROBLEM

Regression risk was growing

  • Regression testing had reverted to manual validation across Core workflows
  • Prior Selenium-based automation had been abandoned due to high maintenance cost and effort
  • Some issues were only discoverable through deeper end-to-end behavioral validation
  • Existing coverage could miss hidden workflow defects outside known scenarios
  • Expanding coverage manually would require additional QA time and capacity
THE INTERVENTION

A lightweight approach with maximum impact

  • Kicked off with a single product demo — no code, specs, or test scripts required
  • Engagement was non-intrusive, with weekly check-ins to review findings and priorities
  • In 3 weeks, QASolve delivered 400+ automated regression tests
  • Validated positive, negative, and edge-case behaviors
  • Provided detailed issue reports with reproducible steps for engineering review
THE OUTCOMES

Stronger releases with lower risk

  • Created a reusable regression suite for ongoing release validation
  • Uncovered 20+ previously unknown issues
  • Client confirmed several findings were already present in production
  • Improved visibility into real workflow risk before future releases
  • Established a scalable foundation for continuous regression coverage

From Gaps to Confidence. Measurable Coverage That Scales.

Sohonet’s AI-Native automation dramatically improves regression coverage across complex, mission-critical workflows.

Before: Manual Testing

Low coverage, high risk

25% Coverage
  • High risk of misses
  • Slow to scale
  • Inconsistent results

After: Automated Regression

High coverage, low risk

95%+ Coverage
  • Comprehensive coverage
  • Scales with every release
  • Consistent & reliable

QASolve generated 400+ automated regression tests for Sohonet Core in three weeks with very little lift from our team. They uncovered 20+ issues, including several we confirmed were already present in production, and provided clear reproducible steps for engineering review.
