/ The situation /

A flagship product outpacing its testing capacity

Rencore was in the middle of developing Microsoft 365 Governance — a product that lets users identify and resolve issues in their environment fast. But its internal team was stretched: juggling ongoing development alongside mounting testing demands, without the in-house automation expertise to build a scalable, reliable solution. Tight release deadlines left no room to trade quality for speed. Rencore recognized it needed a strategic partnership with a trusted IT provider and chose Orient Software for the expertise and resources to see the project through.

Manpower stretched thin

Rencore’s internal team was juggling ongoing development with new testing demands, leaving little capacity to do both well.

An automation expertise gap

The team lacked the in-house automation expertise needed to build a scalable, reliable testing solution.

Deadlines that couldn’t slip

Tight release schedules demanded swift action to hit product milestones without compromising quality.

/ THE SOLUTION /

An embedded QA team & a framework built to scale

Orient Software assembled an experienced QA team, including four qualified testers led by a senior IT expert. This team integrated seamlessly with Rencore’s developers and worked in an agile cadence.

Collaborative planning

Orient’s team worked closely with Rencore to shape the project roadmap and align testing with release priorities.

Test automation framework

The team designed and implemented a robust, scalable test automation framework using Selenium and C# to safeguard the platform’s quality and reliability.

Automated testing of new features

The team automated testing for Microsoft 365 Governance’s new features, cutting manual effort and increasing efficiency across development cycles.

Framework maintenance & ongoing support

The team continued to maintain the framework, develop new test cases, and support emerging issues after launch.

/ THE RESULTS /

Faster releases, dependable quality & a growing partnership

Orient’s embedded QA team delivered on Rencore’s key requirements, accelerating development while keeping quality high, and earning an expanded, longer-term engagement.
