McKesson’s ERx Team
Future-Proofed Their Automation
– Yours Can Too!

Lisa Vavrek’s team at McKesson eliminated test script rework, maintenance headaches, and automation failures with ZAPTEST. Now, other McKesson teams are following suit. Will yours be next?

The Automation Nightmare McKesson ERx Faced

Before ZAPTEST, McKesson’s ERx team was stuck in an automation loop of frustration:

  • Scripts breaking with every tech update – Just when they thought it was working… BOOM, another failure.
  • Endless time wasted on add-in maintenance – Updates, patches, fixes… rinse and repeat.
  • Manual processes dragging down efficiency – More clicking, more coding, more delays—less progress.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. But Lisa’s team found the way out.

Thriving ZAPTEST Solution: How McKesson’s ERx Team Transformed Automation

Lisa Vavrek’s team didn’t just automate—they broke free from the cycle of constant fixes with ZAPTEST:

  • Bulletproof Automation – Their app shifted from Swing to Angular, yet not a single test broke.
  • No More Tech Juggling – Works with any technology—no patches, no surprise updates, no headaches.
  • Plug & Play Integration – Synced seamlessly with McKesson’s test management system—zero friction.
  • Experts in Your Corner – Think of ZAPTEST’s consultants as an extension of your team, ready to assist.

Lisa’s team ditched the maintenance grind and got back to real innovation. Is your team next?

Q&A from the ERx Team success story

Can you briefly share some challenges your team was facing with test automation before working with ZAPTEST?

Our previous automation tool was unable to handle when the properties of objects changed, resulting in a lot of time spent reworking scripts for changes like Java. Our previous tool also used Java add-ins, so we needed to constantly update the add-ins to use the technology. ZAP doesn’t require that. One major advantage of ZAPTEST is that it’s technology independent.

What were the main goals your team wanted to achieve with a test automation solution like ZAPTEST?

Our main goal is to broaden our coverage of testing to allow our manual testers to focus their efforts more on coming up with creative test scenarios and ad-hoc testing. We are also very focused on resiliency of our automated tests as we want them to be as low maintenance as possible.

How did ZAPTEST integrate with your team’s workflow? Was there a particular feature or capability that stood out for you?

Having a consultant to help work on framework related tasks is very helpful. We were also interested in OCR specifically.

Can you describe how ZAPTEST supported your team during the implementation phase? What was the transition like?

The consultants were a big help. ZAP Expert did a lot of work to get us off the ground. The ZAPTEST team as a whole has been very responsive to questions and changes. They even helped build out an integration between ZAPTEST and our test management tool to help us. To this day, they continue to work with us right away when we have issues.

Was there any specific moment when you realized ZAPTEST was making a big impact within your team?

Yes. One of the screens in our application changed from swing to angular, and not a single test written in ZAPTEST broke.

What would you say to other teams or companies considering ZAPTEST for their test automation needs?

The ZAP consultants are extremely beneficial, and the best plus is that the pricing for this tool includes an expert. Keep in mind, though, that the consultant will need to take time to get up to speed on the application being automated. ZAPTEST is a great partner.
