From First Click to Final Confirmation: End-to-End Testing for Enterprise Applications

Imagine a customer placing an order online. They browse a website, add items to a cart, and complete the checkout process. It seems simple, right? But behind the scenes, countless systems must work together flawlessly: the order is recorded in an order management system; payment details flow through secure gateways, inventory updates in warehouses, and shipping is coordinated with logistics partners. One misstep in any of these steps, and the customer abandons the purchase.

This is the challenge facing modern enterprises. Traditional testing methods such as unit tests, integration tests, and UI checks focus on individual components, leaving gaps between layers. They answer the question, “Does this piece work?” but rarely, “Does it all work together?”

For QA engineers, testing these interconnected systems is complex. For managers, fragmented coverage creates blind spots. For executives, the cost of failure is steep: lost revenue, reputational damage, compliance risks, and dissatisfied customers.

This is where Keysight Eggplant changes the story.

Seeing the Whole Picture

Picture this: a team wants to validate a complex workflow, from a web interface to a mobile app, then through back-end databases, third-party integrations, and enterprise systems like ERP or PLM. Keysight Eggplant makes this seamless.

First, it visually maps the journey through AI-Driven Test Case Creation. Every user interaction, every system state is captured in a stable, visual model that remains reliable even as the application evolves—no fragile scripts that break with every update.

Next, Keysight Eggplant breathes life into the model with AI-Driven Test Generation. Positive and negative paths, edge cases, and every scenario in between are automatically created, freeing engineers from manually scripting each step while ensuring nothing is overlooked.

Then comes Platform-Agnostic Execution. Keysight Eggplant runs these tests across all layers of the enterprise ecosystem, from web, desktop, and mobile interfaces to APIs, databases, and external systems, reflecting the true complexity of modern enterprise applications.

Finally, Enterprise Orchestration ties it all together. Workflows spanning multiple systems and environments are coordinated automatically. PLM, ERP, MES, or COTS systems all move in harmony, ensuring the entire end-to-end process works as intended.

With Keysight Eggplant, testing is no longer about isolated checks. It’s about validating the journey from start to finish, ensuring that every step in your enterprise workflow delivers the right business outcome.

The Impact Across the Organization

For QA Engineers, Keysight Eggplant eliminates fragile scripts and repetitive manual tasks, allowing engineers to focus on meaningful testing while increasing coverage.

For Testing Managers, they gain full visibility into workflow health, with traceability linking business requirements to test outcomes. Automated regression cycles reduce last-minute fire drills and increase predictability.

For Executives, the organization achieves faster regression cycles and reduced defect leakage protects brand reputation, reduces operational risk, and accelerates time-to-market. Organizations report productivity improvements, cost reductions up to 70%, and regression cycle times cut by more than half.

A Real-World Success: Mauritius Commercial Bank

Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB) faced major challenges with regression testing across its Temenos core banking system, mobile apps, and integrations. Manual testing consumed nearly 400 workdays per upgrade cycle.

After adopting Keysight Eggplant, MCB automated 70% of core banking regression testing, reducing the effort to just 120 workdays—a threefold efficiency gain. End-to-end validation across core banking, mobile apps, and desktop systems further reduced another upgrade cycle from 279 workdays to 42.

MCB’s mobile app, MCB Juice, now serves nearly 700,000 users, with overnight regression runs ensuring reliability with only four QA engineers. In total, Keysight Eggplant saved MCB 1,480 workdays in a single year, while reinforcing the bank’s position as a regional technology leader.

Turning QA Into a Strategic Advantage

End-to-end testing with Keysight Eggplant isn’t just about software quality—it’s about business resilience. Customers don’t care which system failed; they only care that their transaction is completed successfully.

By adopting Keysight Eggplant:

  • Enterprises innovate faster without fear of breaking existing workflows.
  • Partner integrations deploy smoothly, protecting the customer experience.
  • Compliance audits are simpler, aligning testing directly with workflows.

QA becomes a competitive differentiator, driving confidence, efficiency, and trust across the organization.
