Enhancing Customer Experience for American Airlines Through Business Process Risk-Based Test Strategy

For American Airlines Cargo, transitioning from decades-old legacy systems to a modern, fully integrated cargo management platform was a business-critical initiative. The scale of change was immense. More than 90 legacy systems, built incrementally over 40 years, had to be replaced without disrupting operations. At the same time, the airline needed faster feature rollouts, predictable quality, and clear visibility into go-live readiness for executive stakeholders.
Partnering with Naviq, American Airlines adopted a business process risk-based testing strategy designed to protect operational continuity while accelerating transformation. By aligning testing with business objectives, leveraging reusable process artefacts, and embedding quality-driven metrics, the transition was executed seamlessly. The approach not only ensured system reliability during migration but also enabled leaner processes, faster time to market, and measurable improvements in quality outcomes.
