Our engagement

The DeviQA team established a robust automation testing process from scratch using the latest technology stack. Our engineers wrote over 1.5k automation test scripts covering web, mobile, API, and load testing. The implementation of a CI/CD process enabled running up to 20 parallel automated tests for web and API. This allowed the team to execute smoke and regression test suites faster, which was crucial for rapid delivery of new versions.

For mobile apps, automated tests were created to cover critical areas and user flows, resulting in a more than 50% reduction in the time needed for smoke and regression testing.

The team developed an internal testing tool integrating various third-party services. This tool could transform client audio recordings into readable text, analyzing correctly recognized words in the audio file.

In addition to technical contributions, the DeviQA team actively engaged in scrum meetings, providing valuable insights and offering improvements to the development and product teams. The engineers demonstrated adaptability and responsiveness to client requests, swiftly completing top-priority tasks.

Thanks to these efforts, the DeviQA team ran smoke and regression test suites in record time, playing a crucial role in delivering the new product version within the shortest possible time.

Services provided

Web Automation Testing

DeviQA engineers have developed over 1400 automation scripts covering all essential user actions. These scripts run concurrently across 20 separate threads, enabling us to complete the smoke testing in just 10 minutes and the regression testing within 5 hours, which is considerable progress.

Mobile Automation Testing

Our team has implemented automated testing for mobile apps, with over 100 automated scripts developed for each platform. These mobile automated tests are seamlessly integrated into our CI/CD process, enabling us to build and test mobile apps from remote developer branches. Once testing is completed, notifications with test results are promptly sent to the development, product, and QA teams via Slack.

DB Testing

We have configured our automated tests to directly interact with the server’s database, due to which we can promptly identify significant issues after deployments or any database modifications. While the automated tests cover a substantial portion, approximately 90%, of tickets related to database changes, we continue to perform manual testing to ensure accuracy. Additionally, we've integrated automated tests to verify data correctness.

API Testing

In addition to automating tests for the website's user interface, our team also created specific tests to validate API requests. We incorporated API calls into approximately 80% of the UI tests to create and verify data efficiently.

Mobile/Web Testing

DeviQA’s engineers are allocated across five different product teams to ensure effective testing and enhance the overall quality of the project. Throughout every sprint, they actively participate in the development process, manually testing approximately 95% of the sprint stories.
