Case Study: Healthcare Workflow Automation Foundation

Building a scalable Selenium-based regression automation framework for a healthcare workflow platform

Project Overview

The automation initiative started with building a reliable regression automation framework from scratch for a complex healthcare workflow platform.

Client: Wellbe – Healthcare workflow platform
Role: QA Automation Engineer
Ownership: Designed and implemented the automation framework architecture

I designed and implemented a Selenium-based automation framework to support stable regression testing across multiple environments.

The goal was to replace manual regression testing with a scalable automated solution that teams could rely on before releases.

Automation Scope

​The regression suite covered major patient workflows across the platform:

  • Patient creation and registration
  • Moving patients through worklists
  • Consult scheduling
  • Insurance verification
  • Email-based interactions
  • Patient UI workflows
  • Patient Journey monitoring
  • Medical Path creation
  • CTS control panel operations
  • Welcome Center workflows
  • Filters and search functionality

Tests validated complete business workflows rather than isolated UI actions.

Technology

  • Selenium WebDriver
  • Java
  • TestNG
  • Maven
  • Page Object Model
  • CI pipelines
  • Multiple environments

      Engineering Approach

      The automation framework was designed as a maintainable engineering system

      Key principles:

      • Clean Page Object architecture
      • Reusable test components
      • Stable locator strategies
      • Structured test suites
      • Reliable execution across environments

      The framework enabled consistent regression validation before production releases.

      Results

      • 100+ end-to-end workflow tests
      • Reduced manual regression effort
      • Reliable regression execution
      • Reliable CI execution
      • Multi-environment testing support
      • Legacy testing tool replaced (~$12K/year savings)

      Automation became a stable part of the release process.
