Before DeviQA

4 days were needed to run regression testing
Regression tests were executed on one device only
There were less than 200 automated tests
1 browser was used
Only UI tests were used
There was no CI/CD
Regression testing was run in 1 thread and took a lot of time
Security testing was not executed
The testing process was time-consuming

With DeviQA

~2 hours were needed to run regression testing
5 various devices with different operating systems, screen resolutions, and browsers were used to run regression testing
>1000 automated tests were developed
4 browsers were supported
API tests were used alongside UI tests
CI/CD was implemented (GitHub Actions)
4 threads and parallelization were used to run automated regression testing quickly
Security testing was regularly executed
Testing time was reduced by 40%

Our engagement

DeviQA took on the responsibility for quality assurance and allowed BookThatApp to focus on other important tasks. Our primary goal was to automate testing to enable frequent product releases without disruptions.

By implementing a test automation solution, DeviQA significantly optimized the quality assurance process. The time required for smoke testing was drastically reduced from 4 days to just a couple of hours. Also, a comprehensive suite of more than 1000 regression tests was created and regularly run on 5 web browsers and different mobile browsers.

Our testing approach was based on a keyword-driven methodology, prioritizing performance and adaptability. This strategy simplified test comprehension and logic for all team members, empowering them to select and execute tests according to their specific requirements and parameters.

Services provided

Web automation testing

The DeviQA team developed over 1000 automation scripts encompassing all regression test scenarios for the application. These tests covered 80% of the application and were seamlessly integrated into the continuous integration process. The implementation of test automation significantly expedited the regression testing procedures.

Security testing

The DeviQA team introduced the practice of regular security testing. This allowed us to identify 20% of security vulnerabilities in the application code. Moreover, by automating scanning with OWASP ZAP, we reduced testing time by 40%. All in all, we managed to increase the security level of the project and mitigate the risks of data compromise.

API testing

By integrating API testing into half of our UI test scenarios, we made a significant breakthrough. This strategic shift dramatically accelerated both smoke and regression testing, resulting in a phenomenal 60% reduction in testing time and an impressive 40% improvement in testing efficiency.

Dedicated QA team

Our dedicated QA team joined the project to take its QA process to the next level. By introducing test automation, we reduced overall testing time by 40%, which is an outstanding result. Additionally, we implemented API testing that significantly impacted testing workflows and let us increase test efficiency by 40%.
