  • Feature testing on sandboxes was not automated

With DeviQA

  • ~3000 autotests

  • k6-based autotests were integrated into a release flow

  • ~90% of test data is generated by API, resulting in 2.5 times reduction in execution time

  • The latest version of the Cypress framework is used

  • The ‘Page Object’ pattern is used and main classes are refactored

Our engagement

Our engineers seamlessly integrated with the internal QA team, swiftly commencing work on automating tests for the new module of the QIMAone platform. Our concerted efforts have resulted in comprehensive coverage of all necessary test cases, preventing issues from slipping through the release process.

Our testing endeavors encompassed manual testing of new features, test automation, and release testing. Additionally, we created performance tests using the k6 framework. This strategic move enhanced our ability to gauge and optimize the platform's performance under varying conditions.

Presently, our team works on increasing test coverage, refactoring existing automated tests, and enhancing their stability. Our effort is aimed at reinforcing best practices in test automation and aligning with established coding standards. Our commitment to improving the quality and reliability of the QIMAone platform remains steadfast.

Services provided

Web testing

Our team has significantly expanded automation test coverage by writing approximately 1000 additional tests. Besides, we have boosted test stability through API-based test data generation and comprehensive code refactoring. This initiative has enhanced the robustness of our testing suite and contributed to the overall reliability and resilience of our QA processes.

Performance testing

Our team seamlessly integrated k6-based performance tests into the release process. This way, we prevented degradation in application performance in new releases.

Dedicated QA team

Our three senior automation QA engineers, well-versed in both web and API test automation, joined the project and diligently worked on achieving QIMA’s QA goals.
