How Strategic Automation Resulted In A 30%
Reduction in Scripting and Maintenance Cost

Client Challenges

• The client was eying substantial revenue generation through rapid business expansion
• Very rightly, they acknowledged the importance of enhancing the efficiency of their existing workforce and processes in gaining high revenue growth
• To ensure that much-needed efficiency, the client wanted to automate their existing test framework

However, as client had not experienced automation at such higher scale, they were not able to –

• Identify the critical modules instinctively
• Reduce the automation efforts for scripting and maintenance
• Utilize the automation efforts to assist product release tests

Technology Stack

• Selenium
• MSTest
• Automation Grid
• SQL Server

Our Solutions

• One of the major problems with the client’s existing testing framework was the lack of software testing traceability matrix document
• Basically, it’s a document that traces and maps the relationship between two baseline documents. This includes one with the requirement specifications and another one with the test cases
• Note that tractability is vital in knowing how many tests will actually be affected by any code change
• That’s precisely why we created software testing traceability matrix document and automated traceability mechanism
• To accommodate more feature changes, we ensured more reusability and flexibility in automation framework
• To strengthen product release tests, we incorporated powerful code branching strategies
