Navigating Complexities in Test Management
LexisNexis South Africa, a renowned provider of content and technology solutions, embarked on a journey to adapt and thrive in the ever-evolving landscape of quality assurance. As a subsidiary of RELX Group plc, a global leader in information solutions, LexisNexis was at the forefront of assisting professionals and businesses in staying updated on legislative changes and regulatory shifts. However, their internal testing procedures were encountering significant hurdles.
The company encountered multifaceted challenges that included issues with test case sharing, lack of integration between tools, navigation difficulties, and inadequate usability of reports. Managing their vast array of test cases, numerous test releases, and ongoing test runs presented a complex conundrum. Navigating these challenges required a seamless solution that would not only enhance their testing process but also integrate effectively with their existing tools and methodologies.
In the pursuit of a more effective testing approach, LexisNexis South Africa found a partner in QA Touch. Through seamless integration with our testing tools, the company managed to bridge the gap between tools, enabling better traceability and ease of sharing test cases. Magda Harmse’s proactive approach, coupled with QA Touch’s user-friendly interface and robust features, resulted in a transformation of their testing process.

Streamlined Collaboration and Definite ROIs
In the quest to enhance collaboration and communication among teams, QA Touch stepped in as a catalyst of change at LexisNexis South Africa.
