SOLIDitech's purpose is simple: to build reliable software that helps its clients deliver exceptional service to their customers.

That’s why the company is continuously investing in the strength, stability and scalability of the SOLID platform – including how SOLIDitech tests and maintains it. The company's latest step forward is the roll-out of SOLID AI Test Automation, powered by Mabl (https://mabl.com). This AI-driven platform enables SOLIDitech (and you) to move faster, with more confidence and fewer errors along the way.

Why this matters

Rigorous testing is a cornerstone of successful software development – it’s how SOLIDitech ensures quality and reliability, and delivers the high SOLID platform uptime that your business depends on to service customers 24×7. As your operations evolve and the platform grows with you, SOLIDitech is scaling its testing strategy to match.

With SOLID AI Test Automation, the company's QA teams can work smarter and faster, with benefits that directly impact your experience:

  • Pre-release checks – automated tests verify functionality before a release, preventing errors before they impact production operations.
  • Daily regression testing – consistent runs catch issues early and keep systems stable.
  • Automating repetitive tasks – from setting up workflows to running them multiple times for different scenarios, Mabl removes repetitive manual work.

In short: This is one more way SOLIDitech is living its purpose – engineering easy-to-use, fast and reliable software that helps you service your customers, backed by the highest standards of quality and support.

How we're using it

The company's SOLID Core QA team is building a growing suite of automated regression tests for shared SOLID Core functionality – like user creation, product configuration and more.

This means:

  • Improved QA efficiency – automated tests up to four times faster than before, with better coverage and less manual effort.
  • More testing, since it’s automated, SOLIDitech can test more comprehensively and more often.
  • Higher software quality and fewer production defects.
  • Long-term cost savings through reduced manual testing.
  • More room for innovation by making changes easier and cheaper to test.

To support this, SOLIDitech has also built internal SOLID AI Testing Cloud infrastructure to optimise performance and manage automated testing costs.

How it works

Mabl streamlines the process of building, maintaining and running automated tests – no complex coding required.

Types of testing supported:

  1. Release/base QA tests – run before a release to check core functionality.
  2. Daily regression tests – proactive tests run every day to catch issues before they hit production.
  3. Feature tests – created early in development to validate specific features, often becoming smoke tests later.

Mabl’s intuitive interface makes it easy to create new tests and review results.

Creating tests is simple:

  • Record user steps – Mabl records the actions a user takes and can replay them any time.
  • AI prompt feature (Beta) – type a natural language request and Mabl generates the steps.
  • AI-powered stability – tests remain reliable even if page layouts change slightly.

Test steps are recorded in real-time using the Mabl Trainer.

Proven results from

In a two-week trial with one of the company's QA teams, the impact was clear:

  • Four to five times faster test creation compared to Selenium.
  • No coding required – even non-technical users created tests with ease.
  • Positive feedback on the tool’s intuitive set-up and clear results.

Looking ahead

SOLIDitech is making this investment because delivering great software is what matters most. SOLID AI Test Automation powered by Mabl is about building a stronger foundation for your business to grow on – with less risk, less rework and more time to focus on what makes your service great.
