SQA2 Qualitics:

Driving Scalable Automation Without the Overhead of SDETs

ISSUE:
A healthcare technology company needed to automate their QA process to meet aggressive product release timelines—without increasing headcount or hiring specialized SDETs.

BACKGROUND:

  • Heavy reliance on manual testing created bottlenecks and regression risks.
  • Test automation was considered too costly or complex for their existing QA team to manage.
  • The QA team had strong product knowledge but limited programming expertise.

KEY SIGNALS:

  • Automation was stalled due to a skills gap, not lack of intent.
  • Test coverage was inconsistent, especially across rapidly evolving modules.
  • Leadership was reluctant to invest in a separate SDET function.

STRATEGIC IMPACT:

  • Releases were delayed or launched with untested risk areas.
  • Regression debt compounded with each sprint.
  • Lack of automation hindered velocity and confidence in scalability.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

  1. Implement a low-code automation framework tailored for QA analysts, not engineers.
  2. Use modular test libraries and reusability patterns to scale quickly without writing complex code.
  3. Train QA team members in a structured path to become automation contributors—not coders.
  4. Integrate automation into CI/CD workflows to remove manual checkpoints.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES:

  • 80%+ regression coverage automated without hiring additional headcount.
  • Faster turnaround on critical tests, increasing sprint velocity.
  • Empowered QA team with ownership over test automation strategy.
