Success Story...
CASE STUDY
CLIENT DESCRIPTION
Client is a US based leading organization of MDM (Mobile Device Management)
solutions.
BACKGROUND
Client was struggling with regression testing activities. Significant time was
being spent by the client team in certifying release candidate builds/beta builds.
It was taking lot of time to execute test cases manually and client had to
maintain sizable team of manual regression testers. Client tried different
automation tools and the effort was not successful.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Client product was undergoing periodic changes which included changes to
workflows. At the same time validation and verification of golden builds was
time consuming and delayed the whole release cycles. Many regression defects
went unnoticed and were visible in production.
ENTER AFOUR TECHNOLOGIES
Client approached AFourTech to identify solution for efficient regression testing.
AFourTech initially worked at client premises and participated in one release
cycle. Based on the observations and other inputs form the client AFourTech
prepared regression test strategy. Post that AFourTech team worked from client
as well as AFourTech premises. Onsite team focused on new feature integration
testing and offsite team focused on test automation.

Your Software Quality is Our Business
AFourTech worked with client team through one entire release cycle and came
up with test strategy document. AFour implemented following as a part of
solution to address regression testing concerns:
• Introduced process to regularly scrub test cases to optimize number of
regression test cases. Also this ensured up to date &valid regression test cases.
• Assigned priorities to test cases. These were used while automating test cases.
• Identified test automation opportunities (e.g. seed data generation, regression
testing, API testing) and conducted test automation POC to validate automation
• Developed test automation framework and introduced page functions in the
framework to address issue of frequent UI changes
• Automated 1000+ regression test cases
• Automated test data generation activities
• Automated API test cases
• Used Selenium Grid to reduce execution time of entire test suit
