One of the questions we hear most often from the teams running large automation programs is some version of this: “we have thousands of tests, we are running them constantly, but we get inconsistent execution results, or see intermittent failures. Is there a way we can understand the overall health of our automation efforts?

The ability to assess the quality and the application of best practices to optimize and accelerate your test efforts is why we built Automation Insights.

Today, I’m pleased to announce that Automation Insights is now available as an add-on to the Worksoft Connective Automation Platform. 

What We Built and Why 

Enterprise automation programs generate a significant amount of operational data. What they rarely generate is a continuous, structured view of what that data actually means for the health of the program. Stale assets accumulate between release cycles. Execution performance degrades incrementally. Governance gaps widen as programs scale. None of these announce themselves in a point-in-time execution report.

Automation Insights changes that. It continuously evaluates your automation environment across six metric categories, updated daily, and surfaces the risks, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities that standard reporting doesn’t catch.

The five core dimensions it covers: 

• Program health: Technical debt accumulation, stale assets, unused objects 
• Performance and efficiency: Wasted execution time, runtime trends 
• Stability and reliability: Unsafe automation patterns, concurrent session risks, failure rate trends 
• Best practices and maintainability: Anti-patterns, complexity, governance of development standards 
• Governance and visibility: Change tracking, asset ownership, validation recency 

More than 40 metrics, with 30-day trend data and configurable thresholds, give teams the continuous view they’ve been missing. Drill-down reporting connects summary metrics directly to the specific assets, processes, or teams that need attention. 

Why This Matters Now 

As enterprise automation programs mature, the operational challenge shifts. Building initial coverage is one kind of problem. Sustaining a large, complex program through continuous change is another. The teams that do it well share one characteristic: they measure continuously rather than periodically. They know where debt is building before it affects a release. They can answer governance questions because the data is always current.

Automation Insights is designed to make that kind of program management available to every Worksoft customer who needs it, without requiring a dedicated health audit practice or additional tooling outside the platform.

Availability 

Automation Insights is available now as a premium add-on to the Worksoft Connective Automation Platform. If you are already running Certify, the metrics are drawn directly from your existing data.

We built this because mature automation programs deserve more than a pass/fail count. They deserve a continuous view of whether they’re actually working. That’s what Automation Insights provides.
