Challenge: Switching to a Cloud-Based Lab 

R+V is one of the largest insurance companies in Germany, providing all types of insurance ranging from life and health to property and accident insurance.

Before working with Perfecto, R+V tested its web portals manually by tracking the market, buying available devices, and lending them to developers and testers in an in-house lab. To avoid lab costs and achieve central governance and security across multiple teams, R+V wanted to switch to a cloud-based digital quality lab. The team also wanted to automate tests to increase the coverage speed and efficiency of their testing. 

R+V chose to work with Perfecto to support both its test environment and meet its automation requirements. The company set up a private hosted cloud with Perfecto to test R+V’s web portals on real mobile devices.

“R+V decided a cloud-based environment that offered real devices for testing was a must to deliver a high-quality user experience.”

- Dierk Jordan, R&V Test Manager

Results: Faster App Releases, Lower Costs

R+V uses a combination of its test automation framework and Perfecto’s Selenium WebDriver extension to automate test scripts across devices and platforms simultaneously.

The result? In a highly fragmented mobile space, the ability to reuse the same script is essential for R+V's fast releases. R+V can perform automated testing, eliminating costly QA bottlenecks that come with slower, resource-intensive manual testing. The quality and consistency of the portals reduces the risk of alienating customers because of a poor user experience. 

With a dedicated test division, strong investment in automation, and a cloud-based lab, R+V is bringing the company as close as possible to its target user and successfully making digital quality a standard across the company.
