Encova Insurance Partners with Sapiens for Enhanced Testing Solutions
Encova Insurance, a diversified mutual insurer, has recently taken a significant step towards improving its software quality and operational efficiency by expanding its collaboration with Sapiens International Corporation. This partnership is highlighted by the deployment of Sapiens' Automated Testing Services (ATS), aimed specifically at enhancing the company’s CoreSuite for Workers' Compensation solutions, thereby streamlining testing processes across its operations.
Addressing Testing Challenges
As the demands of technology and customer expectations evolve, the need for robust and efficient software testing becomes increasingly critical. Encova Insurance faced challenges with the time-consuming nature of regression testing for system upgrades, which hindered their ability to push out new releases as frequently as they desired. By selecting Sapiens' ATS, Encova aims to tackle these issues head-on.
ATS is tailored to reduce testing cycles, enhance software reliability, and free up internal resources, enabling the company to focus on more strategic business initiatives. The solution offers Encova access to a pre-built automated regression test suite that is regularly updated to reflect product releases, as well as customizable test cases specifically designed for the company’s operational needs.
Benefits of Automated Testing
The implementation of automated testing is expected to yield significant benefits for Encova. With reduced testing times, Encova can expect better coverage consistency and increased repeatability in tests. This will facilitate faster and more reliable software releases, aligning with the company's broader strategic objectives. Ramu Lingala, Encova's Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer, expressed optimism about the partnership, stating, "Sapiens continues to be a valued partner and Automated Testing Services is the latest example of how they proactively empower us to modernize our operations."
The ATS utilizes Microsoft Playwright, an industry-recognized open-source testing tool. This integration, along with a custom framework developed by Sapiens, further enhances the effectiveness of the solution. Encova employees will benefit from training aimed at developing automated test cases, leading to greater operational flexibility and efficiency.
Strengthened Partnership
Roni Al-Dor, President and CEO of Sapiens, emphasized that the collaboration aims to reduce time and resources devoted to testing while significantly improving software quality. The ATS will empower Encova to conduct more frequent upgrades, enabling quick responses to market demands and bolstering operational resilience.
The implementation of Sapiens' ATS began in April 2025, with a roadmap leading to the first automated tests set to support Encova's upcoming system upgrade scheduled for October.
