GlobalLogic launches VelocityAI Testing for QA

GlobalLogic Inc., a Hitachi Group Company and a pioneer in digital engineering, announced VelocityAI Testing.

VelocityAI Testing addresses the paradigm shift in quality assurance, embedding intelligence and bringing quality to all stages of the Software Development Life Cycle as they occur, resulting in accelerated cycle times.

Organisations today face significant challenges in keeping pace with the rapid demands of the technology landscape, security issues, high implementation costs, and skilled resource shortages in testing.

Outcome-driven solution

VelocityAI Testing directly addresses these pain points by providing a cost-effective, scalable, and outcome-driven solution that reduces time-to-market and defects, delivered through flexible commercial models.

"The future of software development hinges on intelligently integrating enterprise-grade GenAI tools across the entire lifecycle, and Quality Assurance is no exception," said Raj Sethi, Senior Vice President of Technology, SDLC, GlobalLogic.

"VelocityAI Testing integrates seamlessly into your existing processes, requiring little to no change management, and delivers immediate value to organisations of all sizes, regardless of their current engineering partnerships.”

Testing capabilities

“VelocityAI Testing operates transparently behind the scenes, providing accelerated time-to-market, enhanced quality, and adapting to the ever-changing technology landscape with flexibility of both operating and commercial models,” concluded Raj Sethi.

VelocityAI Testing Capabilities:

• Test Strategy Development: Leverages agents while onboarding to reduce time and improve the success rate of test automation.
• Autonomous Test Case Generation: Creates test cases for functional and non-functional testing from user stories, subtasks, and artifacts in JIRA/ADO and CAKE(Context-Aware Knowledge Engine), which acts as an intelligent mediator and integrator, making sure every part of the SDLC has complete, unambiguous, and context-rich information. This directly supports Sanity, Smoke, Regression, and Acceptance Testing.
• Script and Output Integration: Outputs are saved in Jira or third-party tools like QMetry. Execution of test cases is handled separately and requires access to a running environment. VelocityAI Testing does not require system deployment in advance — scripts are designed to be pointed at the target system.
• Flexible and Secure Deployment: VelocityAI Testing can be deployed in a client’s VPC, ensuring data privacy and alignment with enterprise security policies and options, such as GL VPCs, on-premise, or even air-gapped installations, where security requirements are extreme.
• Context-Aware Test Design: VelocityAI Testing utilises documentation such as BRDs, PRDs, Wireframes, Figma designs, and user guides to enrich test scenarios with relevant business context. The context is further enhanced with persona information and knowledge provided through CAKE.
• Defect Management and Reporting: Automatically log defects to JIRA/ADO, leveraging GenAI to identify root causes, detect untested areas, and provide smart dashboards to track KPIs, coverage, and quality metrics.

Engineering impact

Engineering Impact in Action:

VelocityAI Testing tackles key QA pain points across the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) with purpose-built GenAI tools.

• GlobalLogic leveraged VelocityAI SDLC to help an international provider of building products and services accelerate its digital transformation journey. With a GenAI-supported development and testing using a GlobalLogic-developed accelerator, the client achieved a 30% improvement in Green and Brown fields.
• For a media and entertainment conglomerate in the broadcasting and streaming space, GlobalLogic provided end-to-end QA across the full STLC. GlobalLogic provided QA automation, generated test scenarios, and automated API and test scripts, resulting in a 30-40% reduction in overall STLC cycles, facilitated shift-left approach adoption, and optimised test case maintenance.
• For a Contact Center service provider, GlobalLogic enabled QA infrastructure modernisation, automated QA validation using our in-house accelerator, reducing time spent by 50%, migrated 94% of their customers to the multi-tenancy platform, and reduced their production backlog by 12-13% on a QoQ basis.

GlobalLogic has been at the forefront of AI innovation for over a decade, with extensive experience in machine learning products and GenAI technologies since 2021.

The launch of VelocityAI Testing is a key milestone in GlobalLogic's commitment to helping clients "Engineer Advantage" by shifting from reactive, stability-focused postures to proactive, growth-orientated ones through a GenAI-first approach.
