Uses the Double Diamond to pick what to automate, chooses Ranorex for ease of onboarding, and focuses on tests that run overnight against scarce hardware. Delivers 10 tests in six months that cut manual regression from 4,110 minutes to 600 minutes — about 68 hours saved (14.6%) — adds logging and nightly runs to expose intermittent hardware faults, and scales to ~181 automated tests (~20% of suite) yielding ~42% time saved.
