Test automation for a property financing marketplace

Challenge

The project involved an application built using an earlier version of AngularJS and deployed to multiple existing test environments. The testing framework and reporting mechanisms had to be created under a tight timeframe, all while working within the constraints of the existing AngularJS framework (like data flow control and data readiness).

A key aspect was accommodating a diverse range of end-user types, each with their specific granular access permissions. Although not all project knowledge was documented, it was all centralized and available.

Solution

Our approach centered on effective knowledge transfer, strategic test planning, and optimized test execution. We prioritized knowledge-sharing sessions to gain a thorough understanding of the application, and we carefully documented key elements for the client in the form of reusable test cases. Close collaboration with the client was maintained through ongoing communication and regular demonstration meetings.

To maintain flexibility, we the testing framework was optimized for running tests across different environments. Code was written with reusability in mind, particularly for test flows that involved common application components.
