Case Study
Streamlining Regression Testing at Thirty-One Gifts
Background:
The testing team at Thirty-One Gifts was small and faced challenges with manual testing of the product due to frequent ad-hoc changes. As a result, regression testing was time-consuming and resource-intensive. The team needed to find a way to streamline the regression testing process while still ensuring the reliability of their software.
Solution:
To overcome these challenges, the team implemented an automated regression testing strategy using the tool CloudQA. The team successfully automated testing for three critical user types (Customer, Consultant, & Employee) across four environments (dev06, dev09, breakfix/uat, and production). A total of 500 tests were automated across these environments.
Results:
The implementation of automated regression testing with CloudQA was a great success. By automating critical user types and tests across multiple environments, the team was able to significantly reduce the need for manual testing. In some cases, manual testing efforts were eliminated entirely. This reduction in manual testing allowed the team to use their human resources more efficiently and effectively. Automation also helped to ensure that key features of the application remained functional. Additionally, by incorporating automation into the Agile development process, issues or bugs were identified and rectified early in the process.
Conclusion:
Automated regression testing with CloudQA proved to be a valuable solution for the small testing team at Thirty-One Gifts. By automating testing for critical user types across multiple environments, the team was able to streamline their regression testing process and use their human resources more efficiently. The team continues to rely on the test results generated by CloudQA to ensure the quality of their software despite the ad-hoc changes. Integrating automation into the Agile development process allowed issues or bugs to be identified sooner and rectified early in the process, which helped to ensure that the key features of the application remained functional and the product was reliable.
