Amazon Nova Act Boosts First Orion's QA Automation

First Orion, a company that specializes in branded communications solutions for businesses, faced a significant challenge as it expanded its operations. With over 300 team members across four offices and a vast range of customers, including Fortune 500 companies, First Orion's engineering teams were shipping new features faster than their quality assurance (QA) team could test.

The company's decentralized architecture, which allowed different teams to work in parallel, had created a bottleneck in QA. The sheer number of web applications and device form-factors required testing against made it difficult for the QA team to keep pace. Traditional automation frameworks were also proving fragile and brittle, breaking with every sprint.

First Orion's engineers turned to Amazon Nova Act, a cutting-edge test automation solution that uses AI to reason about UI states and automate tests without relying on fixed selectors or scripts. With Nova Act, QA analysts can author tests directly in plain English, without needing to write code or context-switch with other work.

The company built an end-to-end system around the Amazon Nova Act SDK, which takes QA analysts from test case authoring through automated execution to integrated reporting. The solution has significantly reduced the time and effort required for testing, allowing First Orion to ship new features faster while maintaining quality.
