Halving Rewaa's regression testing time with scalable automation
A maintainable automation framework with dual-language coverage and CI/CD integration - 100% code coverage and zero production bugs.
Slow, costly manual testing was delaying deployments and couldn't keep up with a dual-language product or full backend coverage.

A scalable framework to automate testing in two languages.
Rewaa, a leading retail technology provider in Saudi Arabia (founded 2018), was held back by slow, costly manual testing that delayed deployments. They needed a strong automated testing framework that could handle functional test cases in both Arabic and English, lower regression cost, improve bug detection, and expand coverage - scalable, maintainable, and integrated with their existing CI/CD.
- Replace slow, costly manual testing that delayed releases
- Support functional tests in both Arabic and English
- Expand coverage to backend and API endpoints
Common questions
The framework creates and runs functional test cases in both languages, verifying that both platform versions deliver identical functionality and user experience.
It removed the manual-testing bottleneck, cutting regression testing time by 50% and saving roughly $2,000 a month, while raising coverage to 100%.
Built for scalability and maintainability, the suite integrates with Rewaa's current CI/CD so automated tests run as part of the delivery flow rather than as a separate manual step.
Manually testing every module slowed releases and left gaps — especially across backend and API endpoints. Automation closed those gaps and took the bottleneck out of every deployment. Coverage went up; regressions stopped slipping through.
Automate strategically - scalable, maintainable, integrated.
STEP
01
Discovery
Defined the goals: dual-language automation, lower regression cost, better bug detection, and wider coverage.
