About project

CYDEF is a Canadian cybersecurity company that provides threat-detection and data-breach-prevention software for businesses.

CYDEF's desktop solution, Agent, detects anomalous activity that may indicate a cybersecurity threat. Detected anomalies are reviewed by CYDEF's security specialists. When an anomaly is confirmed as a threat, the corresponding prevention measures are applied.

“DeviQA has helped the company create hundreds of test cases with speed and efficiency. The client regards their workflow as seamless. Importantly, the vendor understands the client's core business value, allowing them to deliver just as expected of them.“

Our engagement

The engagement began in 2020 with a three-person team responsible for manual testing, Playwright automation, and Azure infrastructure support.

The team introduced structured test coverage and automated testing for CYDEF's desktop Agent. Regression testing decreased from 2 weeks to 4 days.

The resulting test suite includes 1,900+ test cases and 700+ automated scripts, with 98% coverage of the desktop application.

An automated smoke test suite reduced the time required to validate new features by more than 75%. The expanded test coverage supported more than 30 software releases.

The DevOps scope included maintaining CYDEF's Azure infrastructure and identifying and resolving operational issues. Using Azure Resource Manager and Bicep, the team documented and partially automated infrastructure provisioning, reducing setup time for a new client from 1 month to 1 week.
