The challenge: a disconnected testing ecosystem

The client struggled with a fragmented test management system. Their 50.000 test cases were scattered across teams, limiting visibility, collaboration, and test coverage analysis. Using Zephyr Scale Server, they faced several roadblocks:

  • Lack of traceability between requirements, test cases, and defects;
  • Limited test case reusability, leading to duplicated efforts;
  • Lack of customized governance model, making it difficult to standardize testing processes;
  • Siloed IT teams, slowing down collaboration;
  • Lack of flexibility to support their evolving needs;
  • Manual processes that hindered automation and standardization.

To modernize their software quality governance, the bank needed a centralized, scalable, and automation-ready solution.

 

The migration to Xray: a smooth but strategic shift

The transition to Xray was a critical milestone, requiring a balance between minimizing disruption and maximizing adoption. The process unfolded in carefully planned stages:

  1. Discovery and analysis – a deep dive into existing testing workflows helped tailor Xray to the bank’s needs;
  2. Solution design – custom workflows, fields, and reports were configured to optimize testing processes;
  3. Sandbox implementation – a safe environment allowed teams to experiment, validate configurations, and refine the setup;
  4. Pilot migration – 50.000 test cases were migrated and tested before full deployment.
  5. Intensive training and support:
    • Xray Academy courses ensured a fast learning curve.
    • Spanish-language training and video knowledge capsules in Confluence accelerated adoption.
  6. Production rollout – The complete transition to Xray was executed with ongoing support.
  7. CI/CD & automation integration – Xray was integrated into the bank’s automation and performance testing ecosystem.

During implementation, 60 support requests were raised—each addressed with a proactive, collaborative approach, ensuring a smooth transition.

 

The results: a transformed testing process

With Xray fully integrated, the client achieved:

Centralized test management – 100.000 tests consolidated across sandbox and production environments;
Faster defect detection – identified 802 defects in 7 months, compared to 7,700 over 41 months with Zephyr;
Standardized processes – established governance playbooks and a unified testing strategy.
Enhanced traceability – requirements, test cases, and defects are now seamlessly linked;
Boosted test reusability – 52.000 reusable test cases, with an 8% reuse rate improving efficiency;
Increased automation – 2.600 test cases automated in January alone;
Scalability – 334 active Xray users, out of 2.000 licenses, benefiting from improved workflows.

 

"Migrating to Xray didn’t just consolidate 100.000 test cases into a single environment - it transformed traceability between requirements and defects. Teams can now pinpoint critical issues in hours, not days, cutting incident analysis time by 40% compared to Zephyr Scale."
