The problem
To ensure the quality of an order lifecycle management application, automation testing is essential. By automating the testing process, it is possible to test the application much more thoroughly and efficiently than would be possible with manual testing methods. The client wanted to optimize their existing automation system as it took a long time to execute regression testing, and had multiple limitations including sequential execution, complex reporting, lack of parallel execution and modularity, hard coded waits, frequent jitters and logouts, and huge maintenance cost. The sheer number of orders, size of the business, and the need to automate testing on numerous combinations of browser, interaction, and different sorts of users prompted the client’’s search for an experienced and trustworthy testing partner in the relevant domain.
