We are in 2021 and Test automation is still the hottest software testing trend. It has become the key enabler of many advanced development and deployment practices. According to Markets and Markets, The global Test automation market size is expected to grow from USD 12.6 billion in 2019 to USD 28.8 billion by 2024, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.0% during the forecast period.
This blog is a success story of how a leading Financial service provider approached us for QA services and how Indium executed a winning testing strategy.
Our client is a Financial Services provider with assets and operations competitively expanding across geographies.
The company uses Salesforce to benefit from processing applications aggressively and scale-up acquisition business.
Sales dealers are connected on Salesforce using self-service features on their mobiles, typically, to manage sales leads, track opportunities and orders, maintain customer information.
The application is a tailored Salesforce platform for enterprise requirements such as Lead Generation and Purchase Order creation workflows across financial services modules (Personal loans, Insurance and B2B Services)
Indium Software’s QA experts analyzed the application workflows to derive the Process and Technology needs to automate functional QA and accelerate Test Cycle.
The QA set up was required to be standardized in terms of producing Test Artefacts and Reports from the Functional Testing unit that would assist in proposing Test Strategy for Automation.
We developed a custom advanced Test automation framework for accelerating test cycles. It was employed to cater to the Test Automation Solution for the Salesforce Application.
The framework integrates well with standard Automation Tools, enables parallel execution of Test Cases and keeps maintenance costs of Test Scripts and Test Data in strict check.
The lead creation and management workflows access and modify actions in the Salesforce platform, is an omnichannel experience feature.
A typical case would be to create a lead on the web application with all required fields and a sales dealer would approve a lead on the mobile self-service portal or vice versa.
QA needs for the different web and mobile combinations (possible business scenarios) were to be addressed as a special functional coverage.
Our solution included test automation framework customization that synchronizes a record created in the back-office account and validates or update the same on the client-side application (Mobile/Web).
The framework initializes multiple Browser/ Mobile Application instances in parallel or on-demand. This helps a (current) test scenario to interact with more than one application inside the same test case.
Provided real-time reports on Test Execution status and outcomes that allowed Dev Teams to schedule agile actions on the test results.
