Solution

VeloAI, a specialised testing Co-pilot from Inspired Testing, uses advanced AI to optimise testing workflows. It designs comprehensive test scenarios based on requirements, develops detailed test cases from these scenarios, and automatically verifies and validates project requirements against industry best practices and standards.

Client Overview

Yorkshire Water serves 5.5 million customers and employs around 5,000 people. Operating within a heavily regulated environment, it manages critical water and waste systems, ensuring the delivery of safe, reliable services across Yorkshire. The company relies on complex IT infrastructures and a vast network of partner suppliers to meet its health, safety, and regulatory obligations.

The Challenge

This initiative forms part of a larger strategy to assess the viability of VeloAI in Yorkshire Water’s quality assurance processes.

A Proof of Concept compared the productivity of a single Test Analyst using VeloAI against a team of four experienced Test Analysts working in the conventional manner.

The Outcome: Measurable Impact

High-priority, high-risk test scenarios were selected for this comparison.

The team of four experienced Test Analysts developed 46 test cases over two days at a total cost of £1,560.

By contrast, a single analyst using VeloAI generated 244 test cases in just 20 minutes, at a direct cost of £12. The analyst then spent one hour validating VeloAI’s outputs, bringing the total to £37. This ensured both speed and quality assurance.

VeloAI delivered more than five times the number of test cases in a fraction of the time and cost.

Faster, Smarter, and More Cost-Effective Testing with VeloAI

This proof of concept demonstrates that VeloAI not only dramatically reduces effort and expenditure, but also improves test coverage and quality, positioning it as a forward-thinking solution for modern software assurance.
