THE CHALLENGE
Manual testing bottlenecks slowed feature rollouts and compromised quality across multi-platform ecosystems
The company faced mounting challenges in rapidly delivering high-quality software updates to keep pace with competitors. Manual testing processes created bottlenecks in the development pipeline, delaying feature releases, disrupting go-to-market strategies, and exposing products to defects. Comprehensive regression testing was difficult to achieve, further increasing the risk of production defects. Additionally, without a reusable automation framework, development teams had to repeatedly create test scripts from scratch, consuming valuable time and resources.
With a product ecosystem that spanned web and mobile platforms, the company urgently needed a zero-touch, multi-platform testing solution across its CI/CD pipeline to facilitate swift, reliable, high-quality feature rollouts.
THE TRANSFORMATION
Scriptless test automations integrated into the CI/CD pipeline accelerated feature rollouts
UST introduced a quality engineering solution to address the company's challenges, transforming its testing processes and accelerating feature releases. Leveraging our QE360 scriptless automation platform, we automated testing across API, mobile, and web applications, significantly reducing manual effort and improving testing efficiency.
UST integrated the automation suite with Pcloudy, a cloud-based digital mobile lab for Android and iOS platforms to ensure comprehensive mobile application testing. Additionally, we seamlessly integrated the automation framework into the company’s CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins for continuous testing and real-time feedback after every code commit.
Through innovative strategies, like parallel execution and cross-browser testing, the company reduced overall test cycles by 5X while maintaining comprehensive coverage. This scalable, reusable automation platform supported the company’s growing application portfolio, ensuring it could meet market demands without increasing operational overhead. The end-to-end automated testing approach empowered the client to quickly deploy high-quality updates, aligning software development with business goals.
THE IMPACT
Scalable testing solution delivered 70% faster testing and improved product quality
The quality engineering solution helped the company achieve a 70% reduction in regression test cycles and a 5X increase in overall test timeframes. These improvements allowed the company to adapt to market demands quickly, deliver updates faster, and enhance software reliability. The 75% reduction in manual testing also enabled developers to focus on more strategic initiatives, such as product quality improvements and innovation.
Comprehensive cross-device and cross-browser testing also ensured consistent and thorough coverage across all product platforms, significantly improving software reliability and minimizing production defects. The seamless CI/CD pipeline integration provided real-time feedback and enabled swift issue resolution, improving system stability and boosting user satisfaction. These enhancements improved efficiency, reduced costs, and strengthened the company’s competitive edge, ensuring success in a fast-paced digital landscape.
