Automated Testing for Life Sciences

Accelerate Validation While Maintaining GMP Compliance

Automate testing with a life science–focused library of validated automated test cases while maintaining compliance and audit readiness.

Continuous Validation Without the Bottlenecks

STAEDEAN Test Automation Suite for Life Sciences enables organizations to automate testing across Microsoft Dynamics 365 environments. Designed for regulated industries, it combines a structured framework with a life sciences–specific library of prebuilt test cases.

Unlike generic automation tools, it works seamlessly with the STAEDEAN Validation Toolkit, connecting user requirements, test scripts, and script evidence within a structured framework. This allows organizations to transform validation from a manual bottleneck into a scalable, efficient process while ensuring compliance and audit readiness.

Key Challenges

Validation is continuous in regulated environments

In regulated life sciences environments, validation does not stop after go-live. Systems must be tested whenever changes occur, including system upgrades, releases, configuration updates, and feature rollouts. This creates an ongoing validation effort across the system lifecycle.

Regression scope grows with every system change

As ERP environments grow, the number of processes that require regression testing increases. Each release increases the scope of testing required to maintain system reliability and compliance, making manual regression testing increasingly difficult to manage.

Manual testing slows release cycles

Manual validation and regression testing require significant effort and coordination. As testing workloads increase, QA and IT teams often struggle to maintain coverage while keeping release timelines on track.

Validation Automation Framework

Automate validation with a framework designed for life sciences environments. Standardized test structures, reusable test components, and step-level traceability help maintain clear links between requirements, test scripts, and execution results to support compliance and audit readiness.

Prebuilt Test Library

Start automation faster with a ready-to-use library of 100+ automated test cases for Microsoft Dynamics 365. Built from STAEDEAN Validation Toolkit assets, the library provides structured scripts for common life sciences processes that organizations can use immediately, adapt to their workflows, or expand over time. Built on Playwright, the framework enables parallel test execution to accelerate validation cycles.

Automation Dashboard and Reporting

Gain clear visibility into test execution and release readiness through centralized dashboards. Real-time status tracking, pass/fail results, execution history, and defect trend insights help teams monitor validation progress and make informed release decisions.

Benefits

Reduce validation effort

Automate regression and revalidation with a library of 100+ automated test cases, saving approximately 150 hours per validation cycle today and up to 500 hours as automation coverage expands.

Reduce risk

Reduce the risk of failed releases and audit issues by testing more scenarios than manual testing allows and catching defects early with automation.

Accelerate validation cycles

Execute validation and regression testing faster with automation designed specifically for life sciences environments.

Reduce manual workload

Minimize testing activities across validation cycles so QA and IT teams can focus on higher-value validation and system improvement work.

Improve release confidence

Use consistent, automated test results to support faster and more informed release decisions during UAT, system updates, and go-live.

Strengthen compliance & audit readiness

Maintain structured, traceable, and repeatable test execution that supports compliance with validation and regulatory requirements.

Validation Traceability

Maintain traceability between requirements, validation scripts, and execution results to support audit readiness and regulatory compliance.

Validation & Regression Testing

Execute validation scripts automatically across Microsoft Dynamics 365 environments, ensuring system functionality and compliance requirements are consistently verified. Run regression tests whenever system updates, configuration changes, or new releases occur to ensure system stability and performance.

Prebuilt Automated Test Scripts

Access a structured library of automated test cases designed for common life sciences processes and GMP-critical workflows.

AI-Assisted Automation

Expand automation coverage without increasing scripting effort. AI-assisted capabilities accelerate the creation of new automated tests while maintaining consistent architecture, governance, and validation discipline.

Real-Time Test Monitoring

Track execution status, pass/fail results, and test performance through a centralized dashboard to gain immediate visibility into validation progress and system readiness.

Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you're looking for?

What technology is used in STAEDEAN Test Automation Suite?

STAEDEAN Test Automation Suite for Life Sciences is built on Playwright, an open-source automation framework. STAEDEAN extends Playwright with an automation architecture designed for regulated life sciences environments, enabling fast, reliable regression testing.

How is STAEDEAN Automated Testing different from other automation tools?

Most automation tools focus only on test execution. STAEDEAN combines automation technology with validation-ready assets, including predefined requirements, validation scripts, and traceability through the STAEDEAN Validation Toolkit.

How does integration with Azure DevOps support validation and automated testing?

Azure DevOps manages requirements, test scripts, and results in one place, and links them through Playwright-based automation. This ensures clear traceability between what needs to be tested, what was tested, and the outcomes—supporting compliance and audit readiness.

Can automated tests run in parallel?

Yes. The Playwright-based automation framework supports parallel test execution, allowing multiple tests to run simultaneously. This helps organizations complete regression testing faster and shorten validation cycles.

Can organizations use their own validation requirements and scripts for automation and UAT?

Organizations can combine their own requirements and test scripts with the STAEDEAN library within a unified framework. Validation Toolkit scripts are translated into automated tests and managed in a structured environment. With predefined elements, such as prerequisites, expected results, and acceptance criteria, these scripts ensure consistency and traceability. They can also be used beyond formal validation to support structured User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
