Coverage Increase Achieved
With the kind of complex landscape that PVH operates in, the company was looking for a stable system that could ensure continuity to the business and support IT evolution to meet the customer needs.
That is why they decided to empower SAP Fashion Management as an integrated solution to bring all the processes into one system. By rolling out SAP FMS to operating brands they had to ensure business continuity: that’s why automation was the key.
Before Copado came into the picture, PVH used to manually check loaded data. This time-consuming activity could only ensure 10% coverage of the entire uploads in scope. Not only PVH wanted to ensure continuity but also increase coverage and free-up critical IT & business resources from costly manual regression testing activities.
PVH chose Copado as its preferred test automation tool. They leveraged Copado’s automation capabilities to increase coverage and speed of their regression testing. With Copado’s intuitive UI, business users could easily translate their business knowledge into high-quality automated regression test scenarios.
PVH increased the data validation to 100% correctness and completeness (compared to manually spot-checking 10% of loaded data earlier). By involving business users in the setup of automated test scenarios and automating the process, PVH could save 80% on test-related activities.
