Quick Summary

IntelERA implemented an automated QA solution for a business and healthcare performance optimization specialist. The solution streamlined the testing process for their two critical online applications, reducing development time, identifying key issues earlier, and improving the overall user experience. The client experienced significant time and cost savings, leading to higher efficiency and better end-user satisfaction.

Problem Definition / Challenges

Our client, a business and healthcare performance optimization specialist, faced significant challenges with two key online applications used in the ordering process. End users were reporting issues that affected the efficiency and reliability of these applications. The problems were directly impacting the business, as these applications were essential for processing healthcare orders. The client needed a solution that would quickly identify and fix issues within the applications, improve the development lifecycle, and reduce the time to market.

Application Stability: Frequent errors and bugs in the production apps.
Manual QA Process: Time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to human error.
Slow Time to Market: Development and deployment processes took longer than desired, affecting the client’s ability to remain competitive.

Our Approach / Solution

IntelERA conducted a thorough examination of the client’s existing applications and quality assurance tools to identify critical gaps and inefficiencies in their testing process. After analyzing the challenges, we designed and implemented a tailored automated QA process that addressed the issues and significantly improved operational efficiency.

Setting up a Framework and Test Automation Plan:

We started by defining the testing framework to ensure it was scalable and aligned with the client’s development goals. A detailed automation roadmap was laid out, which included prioritizing the most critical aspects of the applications for early-stage testing.

Building Test Scripts:

Our team developed a suite of comprehensive test scripts using Java, Selenium/Appium, and TestNG. These scripts were designed to automate functional and API testing, ensuring that both the front-end and back-end components of the applications were thoroughly tested in real-time, significantly reducing manual efforts and minimizing human error.

CI/CD Integration:

We integrated the testing process with Jenkins to enable Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). This integration streamlined the process of code testing and deployment, making it possible for the development team to receive continuous feedback, fix issues faster, and ensure quicker product releases.

Cloud Integration with BrowserStack:

To enhance testing efficiency, we leveraged BrowserStack, a cloud-based testing platform, to conduct cross-browser and cross-platform testing. This ensured that the applications would perform optimally across a wide range of devices and browsers, enhancing the end-user experience and reducing compatibility issues.

In-Sprint Automation:

We introduced the concept of in-sprint automation, where the testing process was integrated into the agile development cycle. This allowed for the automation of tests while new features were still being developed. As a result, the client saw an improvement in speed and efficiency, with issues being caught and resolved earlier in the development process.

The Result

Increased Efficiency:

The in-sprint automation technique reduced the time taken to move from development to production by 55%, making the entire process faster and more efficient.

Cost Savings:

The client saved 30% on development and deployment costs due to the reduced time spent on manual testing and the faster turnaround time.

Improved Quality Assurance:

Automated testing led to more reliable applications, with 80% fewer critical bugs being reported in the production environment, resulting in a smoother end-user experience.

Faster Time to Market:

With automated testing, the development cycle shortened by 55%, enabling quicker feature rollouts and ensuring faster product updates and improvements.

Business Growth:

The client’s reputation in the industry grew, resulting in increased business opportunities. The client saw a 25% increase in new contracts and business partnerships due to the enhanced performance and reliability of their applications.

Continual Upgrades:

The automation solution is constantly being upgraded in alignment with the latest industry best practices, ensuring the system remains current and continues to deliver value.

In conclusion, the automated QA solution implemented by IntelERA not only optimized the client's applications but also contributed to significant cost savings, faster deployment times, and improved customer satisfaction. The solution enhanced the client's business performance and opened new avenues for growth.
