AltexSoft Builds up a Scalable QA Automation Framework to Streamline the Delivery Process and Future-Proof the Client’s Business

In order to define and solve performance issues, our engineers have thoroughly studied the existing product. They conducted comprehensive system architecture review and numerous load tests. This helped us pinpoint specific problems and target these bottlenecks without the need to completely re-engineer the software solution. As a result, we have provided the results of the load testing along with practical architecture improvement recommendations. This pilot project gave the client a better understanding of the possible trouble spots within the product and served as a solid foundation for the further development collaboration.

Seeing the potential added value of the software quality improvements, based on the conducted research, the client extended our cooperation in order to set up an efficient Quality Assurance Automation process. Our QA engineers have joined the client’s team on a full-time basis and built a full-fledged testing automation framework from scratch. As a result, 300+ autotest scenarios were developed to cover over 50 pages of the application, which makes about 90% of the functionality and UI. Thanks to the process automation, the time required to test the software was reduced by a factor of 10. This resulted in substantial cost savings in the long run and significantly contributed to the overall quality of the software.

Having a sustainable QA automation framework in place, we extend the test coverage as new features are implemented. Working in close cooperation with the client’s team, our QA engineers manually test every new element and feature, describe the test cases and add them to the existing framework to run automatically. New features and updates are thoroughly tested on a development server and staging server before each release. The testing results are documented in a form of a visual report with text logs, screenshots and videos. As the development team gets instant notifications about any error, they can immediately see and fix them with no delays. This makes the product releases predictable, while providing faster time to market for each new update.
