Book a consultationUSE CASE
A successful proof of concept for an Australian enterprise, led by Syed Haque using Tricentis Tosca and exploring Agentic AI.
From baseline
to a clear business case
THE CHALLENGE
Manual SAP testing tied up business specialists and made repeated releases labour intensive. The organisation needed evidence that automation could work in its environment and justify wider adoption.
SYED’S ROLE
Lead the PoC, agree success measures, coordinate business and technical teams, and translate execution evidence into ROI analysis and a practical adoption recommendation.
Agree scope, success criteria and the manual testing baseline.
Clear measuresBuild and run Tosca automation. Review feasibility, repeatability and effort.
Execution evidenceAssess results, model value and present an adoption path to leadership.
Informed investment decisionSAP automation feasibility demonstrated.
Shorter regression execution demonstrated in the PoC.
A smaller execution team for recurring regression.
Evidence and assumptions brought together for leadership.
This case describes Syed’s personal delivery leadership at a prior engagement. The client is anonymous; the PoC is not presented as a project delivered by Shinebright Consulting. Wider rollout and modelled returns are not claimed as realised outcomes.
UNDERSTANDING THE VALUE
The following charts use synthetic figures from our client-safe showcase. They explain the value model and are not the client’s measured results or forecasts.
Compare the example manual and automated approaches.

Repeat execution only. Automation build and maintenance effort must also be included in an investment assessment.
Example cumulative ROI over five years.
Illustrative paybackYear 3
Depends on scope, adoption, reuse and investment. Modelled capacity value is not automatic cash saving or a guaranteed return.
| Measure | Manual | Automated |
|---|---|---|
| Regression cycle | 1.5 days | 0.4 days |
| Execution per test | 24 minutes | 3 minutes |
| Team effort per cycle | 67.5 hours | 3.0 hours |
Cumulative ROI: −49%, −14%, +19%, +40%, +53% (rounded). Model assumptions: 8× portfolio scale; 7 retest cycles per year; adoption of 30%, 60%, 90%, 100%, 100%.
