Client

Our client develops digital asset management (DAM) software for leading entertainment companies behind multi-billion dollar productions. They required a dedicated QA team to test and ensure their website and DAM API met performance, usability, and design standards. The goal was to enhance quality across various environments and automate testing processes for consistent, scalable QA.

Project overview

Need to scale your QA processes while maintaining rapid development? Let’s discuss how we can help.

Let’s talk!

Before

Limited testing across multiple environments
Performance bottlenecks due to high demand
Lack of automated testing for continuous updates

After

Supported 4 environments with 600 E2E tests each
Automated reporting across environments
Improved performance by optimizing test architecture

Project Duration

5 years and ongoing

Team Composition

3 Automation QA

2 Manual QA

Challenge

The project faced complex testing requirements across multiple environments, with two application versions each requiring three versions of automated tests. Working alongside the client’s internal team of 20+ developers, we needed to handle continuous updates and releases while ensuring quality.

Key challenges included establishing QA workflows from scratch, managing multiple simultaneous test runs on Jenkins, optimizing allocated server resources, and ensuring quick automation deployment across separate environments. The inability to implement code freeze strategy meant frequent retesting of software elements.

Solutions

We implemented a comprehensive testing strategy that included:

Test Architecture Optimization

Created 2,400+ tests across four environments
Developed custom analysis tools for quick error identification
Implemented readable screenshots feature for faster issue location

Performance Enhancement

Integrated k6.io for performance testing across main workflows
Analyzed metrics to establish environment user capacity
Rewrote tests using API endpoints for faster execution

Workflow Automation

Built integrations between Liquidplanner, Jira, and TestRail
Implemented auto-reporting with Slack notifications and PDF generation
Created custom tools for quick test reruns during workday

Resource Management

Monitored server resource allocation
Developed tracking system for key indicators (users, files, messages)
Optimized parallel test execution

Technologies

Our testing infrastructure combined modern tools and frameworks to ensure comprehensive coverage and efficient execution:

ProtractorJS
Selenium
K6.io
NodeJS
Jenkins
TestRail
Postman
Jasmine

Types of testing

Performance testing

Measured system behavior under heavy load.

Security testing

Identified and mitigated potential security vulnerabilities.

API testing

Verified API functionality and data exchange.

Mobile app testing

Ensured mobile app functionality, usability, and compatibility.

Regression testing

Guaranteed functionality remained intact after updates.

Results

With our QA processes, the DAM platform’s reliability increased, ensuring smooth functionality across four environments and supporting over 7,000 bug tickets and five major releases. Automated test runs provided efficient monitoring, while performance optimization allowed the software to handle growing demands seamlessly.
