LogiGear’s Global Test Automation solution simply blew away our expectations of what could be achieved with automated testing. We’ve gone from struggling with traditional test automation tools to having a coordinated testing effort between three countries across two continents that is producing 100% test automation
Tony Hinojosa- Director of Engineering
The Challenge
Previous efforts by Hewlett-Packard to automate tests were unsuccessful, with only a small percentage of tests being automated at a very high expense. Therefore, the client sought a test automation solution that would:
- Automate the critical user acceptance tests designed by key business stakeholders
- Provide a stable, reusable long-term test automation framework that could be expanded to support other teams and projects
- Reduce the overall testing time to improve time-to-market product release
The Solution
LogiGear designed a comprehensive global testing solution, incorporating the TestArchitect toolset for integrated test design, automation, and management. Additionally, the company provided testing teams based in the United States and Vietnam.
The clients’ critical business requirements were translated into test requirements, and test cases were designed utilizing the Action Based Testing method.
The Result
LogiGear delivered a suite of fully automated test cases, enabling critical user acceptance tests to run in a matter of hours instead of days. Consequently, the testing cycle was drastically reduced, removing QA from the critical path.
Additionally, a library of reusable action keywords was built, ensuring complete automation coverage of the application and enabling 100% automation, as well as future expansion with minimal maintenance.
