Overview
UltimateQA partnered with an international health organization to build a comprehensive automated testing suite from scratch. The collaboration saved 8 hours of manual testing daily and delivered rapid feedback within 4 minutes.
The Challenge
The international health organization faced a series of challenges that hindered its software development and testing processes:
- Time-consuming manual testing was causing delays in software releases.
- The lack of immediate feedback affected the development cycle’s quality and speed.
- Absence of an existing automated testing infrastructure.
- Comprehensive testing needs, including API, end-to-end, cross-browser, front-end performance, and accessibility tests.
The Solution
Drawing upon its extensive expertise in automated testing, UltimateQA proposed and executed a robust, multi-faceted solution:
- Tool Selection: Employed state-of-the-art technologies like Playwright, TypeScript, Mulesoft, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Actions.
- Rapid Deployment: Developed a suite of automated API, e2e, cross-browser, front-end performance, and accessibility tests.
- Time Efficiency: Successfully reduced manual testing time by 8 hours daily.
- Quick Feedback: Implemented a system that provides actionable feedback within 4 minutes.
The Results
The collaboration between UltimateQA and the international health organization led to transformative outcomes:
- Time Savings: The team will save 8 hours daily, allowing them to focus more on feature development and innovation.
- Rapid Feedback: Developers receive feedback within 4 minutes, thus significantly accelerating the development cycle.
- Comprehensive Coverage: The robust suite of automated tests ensures high software quality across multiple dimensions.
- Increased Confidence: As a result, developers and business stakeholders have gained increased confidence in the software’s quality and reliability.
- Data-Driven Decisions: The system’s real-time analytics and reporting capabilities enable more informed decision-making.
