What Engineering Teams Are Achieving With the ATAMConnect Automation Suite

“When we automated what the customer actually does, our support requests dropped noticeably”

“It changed how we think about automation.
We doubled our capacity almost immediately.”
This reaction mirrors what many engineering teams describe after adopting the ATAMConnect automation suite. Across automotive, medical technology, audio and consumer electronics, organisations are seeing significant improvements in speed, repeatability and automation throughput.

"..Saved two full time engineering years"

One engineering group shared that ATAMConnect automated a sequence of tests that had previously required an entire day for two engineers. The same work could now be prepared in about an hour, saving more than two hundred engineering hours across a release window. A medical technology organisation estimated that the suite saved them the equivalent of two full-time engineering years when compared with their previous approach.

"The time saved in preparation alone changed the pace of our work”

Engineering leads consistently highlight the scale of reduction in setup and execution time. One senior engineer commented that “the time saved in preparation alone changed the pace of our work”.  Another team noted that ATAMConnect became essential for their smartphone-based testing, allowing them to expand compatibility checks across multiple devices with far less manual intervention.

"95 per cent confidence and consistency”

Many users report validation cycles run about three times faster than before. One automotive engineer said ATAMConnect’s automated judgment and frame-capture system delivered “95 per cent confidence and consistency,” unlike earlier tools that struggled with glare or camera movement. Another team noted it was “the first time we could trust every run,” greatly reducing time spent chasing intermittent faults.

“Building with blocks” -Accelerating automation through FlexFlow.
FlexFlow, the visual environment in ATAMConnect, lets engineers build automated workflows without deep scripting knowledge. A new automation engineer likened it to “building with blocks” and quickly produced meaningful flows. A global automotive organisation said empowering manual testers through FlexFlow effectively doubled automation capacity, while another team noted that interns and early-career engineers could contribute within weeks, unrealistic with script-heavy frameworks.

"When we automated what the customer actually does, our support requests dropped noticeably”

A key strength of ATAMConnect is automating the workflows customers actually perform. One team said that “when we automated what the customer actually does, support requests dropped noticeably.” A team using wireless audio products said it ensured consistent Android and iOS results across many handsets. Validating full customer journeys uncovers issues earlier, reduces failures, and builds more reliable products.

"ATAMConnect did not just speed us up. It changed how we think about what automation can achieve.”

The ATAMConnect automation suite is valued across industries for delivering faster cycles, stronger repeatability, broader coverage and reduced engineering effort. Teams also appreciate the ability to automate realistic customer workflows rather than isolated functional checks. As one engineering manager summarised, “ATAMConnect did not just speed us up. It changed how we think about what automation can achieve.”

“high confidence in identifying genuine issues”

One organisation commented that ATAMConnect now provides “high confidence in identifying genuine issues” during their nightly test runs. Teams report stronger product quality, faster cycles and more predictable releases. Whether tripling test speed, doubling automation capacity or enabling engineers of all levels to contribute, ATAMConnect consistently transforms how organisations test connected products.
