All-In-One Scriptless Test Automation Solution!
One of the fastest-growing supply chain service providers in the USA required a dedicated Automated Testing and QA Services team. They had few manual testers and wanted to onboard a dedicated testing automation team with proven experience and knowledge of using Jenkins, C#, and SQL. The company was performing manual testing of our warehouse management system (WMS) but due to resource constraint and lack of skills, they were performing a very limited amount of automated regression testing.
Regression testing will let us know when a change we make unintentionally breaks something else. The company was looking for testing automation solutions and testers with experience in Selenium running on top of Jenkins. The regression test sizes could wary vary significantly from creation and shipping of an order (in 24 steps) to editing a charge code (in 3 steps).
For this project, the company needed a trusted vendor to build and execute the approved framework and thereafter running 50 initial tests. The company would then maintain and update the tests as UI code is updated with future enhancements.
It provided the ability to test an application with less manpower but more thoroughly.
The Requirements we Fulfilled: Meeting all Specifications on the Test Framework
Ensuring seamless integration with existing systems like warehouse management, CRM, and financial accounting software.
Data Consistency: Verifying that data remains consistent across all integrated systems.
API Compatibility: Ensuring APIs between systems function correctly and handle errors gracefully.
Interdependencies: Identifying and testing interdependencies between the new features and existing functionalities.
Assessing the application’s performance under realistic load conditions to ensure it can handle peak traffic.
Peak Load Simulation: Simulating high traffic volumes and transaction loads to test the system’s performance and identify bottlenecks.
Scalability Testing: Ensuring the application can scale effectively to handle increased load.
Resource Utilization: Monitoring and optimizing CPU, memory, and network usage during peak operations.
Ensuring the accuracy and integrity of data processed by the new route optimization algorithms and notification systems.
Real-time Data Testing: Testing with real-time data to uncover issues that might not appear with mock data.
Edge Cases: Identifying and testing edge cases in route optimization, such as unexpected traffic conditions or route blockages.
Data Validation: Validating that data input and output by the algorithms are accurate and reliable.
Ensuring the updated system meets the end-users’ requirements and expectations.
Scenario-based Testing: Developing real-world scenarios for users to test the new features.
Feedback Incorporation: Collecting and incorporating feedback from users during UAT.
Training and Documentation: Providing adequate training and documentation to users for the new features.
Ensuring that new updates do not adversely affect existing functionalities.
Test Coverage: Ensuring comprehensive test coverage for all existing features.
Automated Regression Tests: Implementing automated regression tests to quickly identify any issues introduced by new updates.
Test Environment Parity: Maintaining parity between test environments and production environments to ensure accurate test results.
