Workday delivers smarter, faster, confident change with Kainos Smart Test
About Workday
The Challenge
As an organisation, Workday is always growing and innovating. This drive for innovation means its own Workday tenant is constantly changing. Workday needed to thoroughly test new features, country expansions, biannual updates and more while keeping pace with business requirements.
But, maintaining the level of testing required to avoid disruption or delays was challenging because:
- Time-consuming and inefficient testing stretched internal Workday teams
- Key resources were pulled away from strategic priorities
- Manual processes lacked the scalability that is critical for future growth
The Solution
Workday adopted Kainos Smart Test to automate testing across its Workday configuration. The Kainos team works closely with Workday, providing proactive support and new solutions to make sure that Sara's team is always ready for the next big change.
"Smart Test has been absolutely game changing. It allows our team to move smarter, faster, and with confidence. I can't say enough about the great partnership and support that we've received."
