First deployment of new automated testing services enhances efficiency for workers' compensation operations

ROCHELLE PARK, N.J., Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sapiens International Corporation, (NASDAQ: SPNS) (TASE: SPNS), a leading global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, today announced the first implementation of Sapiens' Automated Testing Services (ATS).  

Encova Insurance, a multi-line mutual insurer serving the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, expanded its partnership with Sapiens by deploying the new ATS for its existing CoreSuite for Workers' Compensation solution. ATS is designed to help insurers shorten testing cycles, improve software quality, and free internal resources for higher-value initiatives.

Encova selected Sapiens to address the time-intensive demands of regression testing for system upgrades, which were impacting the company's ability to frequently execute new releases. ATS empowers Encova with access to Sapiens' pre-built automated regression test suite. It is regularly updated with each product release, as well as customized test cases tailored to Encova's unique operational environment.

The result will be a significant reduction in testing time and greater consistency in test coverage and repeatability, supporting faster, higher-quality software releases.

"Sapiens continues to be a valued partner and Automated Testing Services is the latest example of how they proactively empower us to modernize our operations," said Ramu Lingala, Encova Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer. "Sapiens' ATS will reduce our testing effort, improve the quality of our releases, and free us up for business-critical and strategic priorities."

The service utilizes Microsoft Playwright, an open-source, industry-recognized testing tool, integrated with a custom framework developed by Sapiens. Alongside base product test coverage, Encova will benefit from personalized support, including training to develop automated test cases for their customized code, further increasing operational flexibility.

"We're proud to deepen our relationship with Encova through the launch of our Automated Testing Services," said Roni Al-Dor, President and CEO of Sapiens. "By reducing the time and resources required for testing and improving software quality, ATS will enable our clients to upgrade more frequently, respond faster to market demands, and enhance their operational resilience."

The implementation began in April 2025, with the first round of automated tests planned to support Encova's next upgrade in October.

Sapiens CoreSuite for Workers' Compensation is a full-featured, cloud-enabled, digital solution for large insurers. It includes PolicyPro and ClaimsPro components.
