Problem as stated
The distributor relied heavily on manual regression testing across a large and growing set of applications, which lengthened QA cycles and delayed releases. It needed automation built into its CI/CD workflows that could scale across that application footprint, and it had to handle sensitive user and transaction data during testing in line with privacy rules. [ev-1651]
Heavy reliance on manual regression testing led to longer QA cycles(quoted from the source)

Reading notes for a buyer
This case speaks to the scenario “First outsourced QA team for a mid-size retailer” and feeds dimension D4 (Test automation evidence) of the methodology. A question to put to TestingXperts:
Which of the automated applications serve retail ordering or customer channels, and how were the reported percentage gains measured? [ev-1651]
