Automating the Automation | No Code ‘Environment Synthetics’
The Cost of Manually Testing your Environment Health
- I need to test each test system (maybe production) every morning.
- I have 100 systems (each with 5 instances), that is 500 test system instances.
- The average manpower of testing each instance is 15m.
- Daily cost = 15m/60 (hour) x 500 x $100 (hourly charge rate) = $12,500 per day.
- Annual cost of manually testing health of our Test Environments
ROI of Building a Test Automation Synthetics Framework
- 500 Scripts
- Time to build each script originally is 16 hours (inc analysis, design, build & test).
- Estimated maintenance & execution of script 16 hours pa.
- Annual Cost of Automated Testing
- ROI (compared to Manual) = 1.6M (Year1) and 2.4M (Year2+)
Pitfalls of Test Automation
However, there are pitfalls with this approach,- There is the cost of the tools (often expensive).
- The likelihood of resources (SMEs) being more expensive.
- The ongoing need to coordinate, build, maintain, and execute the artefacts (refer above).
- The reality that mileage so often varies due to the quality and efficiency of the resources involved.

ROI of Enov8 “No Code Lean Synthetics” Framework
- Time to build each script originally is 30m (inc analysis, design, build & test).
- Estimated maintenance and execution of script 30m pa.
- Annual cost of Lean Synthetics: 500 x 1-hour x $100 (hourly charge rate) = $50K Year-1 ($25K Y2 onward).
- ROI (compared to Manual health checks) = 2.95M (Year1) and 2.975M (Year2+) A significant ROI would also be found if we were comparing it to a test automation framework.
- ROI (compared to test automation health checks) = 1.55M (Year1) and 775K (Year2+) Enov8 Lean Synthetics is now available to Enov8 Environment Manager customers.
