QA for Windows server desktop solution (SQLCM)
The system was rather old and heavy, and every new change introduced by developers caused a bug in the connected functionalities of the solution, making it unusable. We were hired to fix it. Our goal was to ensure that all updates to the code went through, and the product would be stable and reliable for the client’s use. This required meticulous testing of various components within the Windows server desktop solution.
Ensuring Quality and Reliability for Marketplace API
- Complex API structure. The API system was extensive, with numerous endpoints and dynamic data, requiring comprehensive understanding and efficient testing within a tight timeframe.
- Real-time data updates. Ensuring that real-time data updates were accurately reflected on the client side was a significant challenge.
- Billing and user flow. Verifying the functionality of billing plans, including activation, special conditions, payments, deactivation, and overdue payments, added another layer of complexity.
- New features to test. Just before the release, the client was finalizing new features and pop-ups for premium accounts, necessitating thorough UX/UI testing.
Manual and Automated Testing for a Database Management Solution
The client contacted us when they were finishing working on another update of their product with a request to perform comprehensive testing of the whole solution, test the tickets supplied by the development team, and then perform complete regression testing of all basic functionality, even if it was not affected by the changes in the code.
One of the main challenges of the project was the fact that the solution works with a large variety of databases (including SQL and MongoDB-based ones), which meant that knowledge of the database technology was integral for testing the product correctly.
Moreover, there were over twenty databases deployed on the client’s side, which sometimes posed an additional challenge for us because we couldn’t quickly access those databases in case there were any hiccups in their operation. Our productive cooperation with the client’s team, including the Product Architect, helped us overcome this challenge by establishing a fast response procedure for these situations.
Quality Assurance for A Jira-Compatible Test Management Tool
The client’s product for this project, a test management tool, was designed to be integrated with Jira and other issue tracking applications. After a series of updates, the client needed to make sure that the updated version of the product could be released and retained all of the functionality users had come to expect. Specifically, our scope of tasks included:
- Verifying the existing functionality
- Checking the presence of all UI elements
- Making sure that each UI element delivers the anticipated response
- Testing the compatibility of the solution with different platforms
- Confirming the correct localization of the product in four new languages
- Ensuring proper integration of the solution with third-party tools
The major challenge on this project was connected within its timeline constraints. For example, our team had to create a large number of test cases (200+) from scratch in limited time. Another challenge was to plan and test all the possible integrations of the product with third-party solutions.
End-to-End Automation for a Reliable Wheel End Products Manufacturer
We were entrusted with automating testing the company’s custom NetSuite application used for order management, payment processing, and other operations.
- Our client used only manual testing without applying optimization techniques or automation;
- We had to turn test cases shortly described in Word documents into a working test automation scripts system;
- Create and run tests for two separate environments;
- Foresee potential crash scenarios and bottlenecks, find and report bugs and critical system blockers.
