Limited Scalability of Existing QA Processes

Heavy Dependence on a Small Group of Technical Testers

Complexity of Legacy and Desktop Applications

Strategic Goals and Platform Choice

QKTech deploys the Watermelon AI-driven test automation platform across 600+ life insurance products

Platform Choice

  • Prioritized the adoption of an AI-driven automation platform to strengthen the quality engineering framework across 600+ products without increasing costs.
  • Chose the Watermelon platform after a structured technology evaluation, identifying it as the best fit for meeting both short- and long-term testing objectives.

Short‑Term Strategic Goals

  • Enhance scalability for regression testing.
  • Expand test coverage across a broad product portfolio.
  • Realize measurable ROI within 6–8 months of project initiation.

Long‑Term Strategic Goal

  • Achieve a 5× acceleration in test execution within three years.

Our Strategy

Watermelon implementation

The client partnered with QKTech to implement the Watermelon platform for no-code (zero-code) test case development, emphasizing complex no-code actions and reusability with snippets. Execution at scale involved using device labs, grids, emulators, and local on-premises browsers, with test cycle planning and collaboration as key components.

Phase One: Assessment and Baselining

  • The assessment and baselining phase of the project involved evaluating the current state of the client’s Life Asia products.
  • It further involved setting up reusable functional test snippets for New Business and Day 1 features for ULIPs and Conventional applications. This emphasized no-code actions and snippet reuse.
  • Additionally, early performance insights about the legacy and desktop application testing were provided.

Phase Two: Build and Run

  • Our team established essential hardware and software configurations to take advantage of Watermelon’s AI capabilities.
  • This phase also included the Build team project planning with 6 to 8 milestones, focusing on basic script design and regression testing for 450+ product codes.
  • The Run team conducted product testing across three major projects, covering 180+ product codes, where 10,000 test cases were reused.

Phase Three: Handover to Business as Usual (ongoing operations) Team

  • This stage involved implementing test data management and user adoption strategies.
  • Watermelon’s low-code/no-code interface allowed all testers to engage effectively, marking a significant shift from previous automation attempts that relied on a limited number of technical testers.
  • Continuous automation building for Day 2 features was transferred to the BAU team.

Project Highlights

  • A lean team of four members focused on designing reusable tests within the Watermelon platform, covering over 600+ products.
  • Developed a comprehensive test pack with 1100 test cases with unique conditions, built with snippets, that could be used across all products.
  • Prepared test data by retrofitting production data with minimal changes, saving another 45% of test data creation time.
  • Conducted a requirement study and leveraged existing automated test cases, reducing design time by over 70%. Our AI-led strategy is helping the client further optimize test case creation.
  • Executed tests iteratively (up to four iterations) to ensure quality before production release, achieving desired results within the first two months for three project cases.

At QKTech, AI-driven test automation sits under Digital Reliability, one of the six pillars of our Reliability OS for Enterprises, which helps enterprises ship AI agents and modern platforms without the risk.
