We reduced automated testing execution time by 30%. We provided tools and training to continue improvement.
A leading company in the creative software market. The company offers a wide range of products and services used by millions of people worldwide.
It is also the owner of one of the leading e-commerce frameworks today.
With more than 25,000 employees worldwide and a 2022 revenue of nearly 40 billion dollars, it positions itself as one of the world's largest software companies.
There was a battery of user interface tests available.
Despite being parallelized, this battery had a high execution time cost due to having to perform many actions repeatedly through the UI. These actions could be done through the API, such as authentication.
Furthermore, it did not cover service tests.
Using the same automation tool that the company had been using, the steps that were performed through the user interface and did not provide validation value were replaced with API calls, making them much more robust and faster.
In parallel, service tests were automated that previously had no coverage, and training sessions were conducted for development teams to enable them to independently program automated tests.
The execution time of automated tests was reduced by 30%, making them more resilient to changes.
The development team had the tools and knowledge to continue expanding the automated test coverage, with occasional support from Redsauce.
