Test automation
that grows with your project.
UTAA® — the Universal Testautomation Architecture — is the method for sustainable software quality through stable, maintainable, and auditable test automation. Built for regulated organisations that want lasting control over their tests.
Every major organisation systematically automates its business processes and workflows. The same expectations should apply to quality assurance of the software behind them: maximum automation. This ambition requires clear management commitment and treating software testing on an equal footing with software development.
UTAA® provides the foundation:
Scalable and maintainable
One method for all technologies, all test levels, any volume. Web, API, database, SAP, legacy — freely combined and maintainable across thousands of tests.
Readable and auditable
Tests in natural language that business stakeholders and auditors can read. Versioned in Git. FINMA, BAFIN, DORA, GxP compliant. No separate test documentation required.
Cost-effective and future-proof
No licence fees. Standard technologies with a broad talent pool. No vendor lock-in. 100% open source.
The familiar pattern
A new test tool is introduced. The first few weeks go well. Then the tests grow, maintenance effort increases, and the team loses confidence in the results. Failing tests get ignored. Releases slow down. Soon the next tool is being discussed. The only thing that remains stable is the cost.
Around 70% of all test automation initiatives fail.* Not due to a lack of commitment, but because the foundation is missing: a methodology that fits the project and grows with it.

Test automation is software engineering
UTAA®, the Universal Test Automation Architecture, is not another tool. It is a methodology and architecture framework that treats test automation with the same principles as production code: modularity, versioning, code review, CI/CD integration.
Tests that grow with the project without breaking. Your business stakeholders can read them. Auditors can verify them. Without additional documentation effort.
Proven in practice
One of Europe's largest pension funds* has taken this path: from a few manual tests to over 10,000 automated tests. Daily regression, effortless maintenance, zero licence costs. New team members are productive within days.
UTAA® is the approach behind it. Perfect for regulated environments.
