Customized Open source Test Automation Frameworks

We specialize in creating customized test automation frameworks using open source libraries. Our approach involves tailoring the framework to fit the specific needs of your applications, scope, usage, and user skills etc. By enhancing the framework with additional capabilities, we aim to improve test efficiency and minimize testing effort. By aligning closely with the customer’s requirements, we ensure that the automation framework meets their exact specifications and delivers maximum value in terms of quality, reliability, and scalability. We develop frameworks that are thoroughly tested for security vulnerabilities, ensuring they are free from any security threats.

Automation Planning

Tool Selection

Selecting the right automation tool can be a pivotal decision for the efficiency and success of your projects. Our team of experts doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We take into account your unique application stack, scenario types, user requirements, and various other factors to provide tailored recommendations. Whether you’re dealing with web applications, mobile apps, APIs, or desktop software, we analyze your specific needs to guide you towards the most suitable automation tool.

Test Automation Feasibility Study

Prior to initiating a test automation endeavor, it is imperative to evaluate the feasibility of automation with the chosen tool sets. We perform a feasibility study focusing on selected test scenarios for the applications under test. This study enables us to discern achievable goals, identify limitations within the tool, and pinpoint any necessary enhancements or new features required in the tool/framework for successful automation implementation.

Test Automation Strategy

An effective automation strategy is pivotal for the success of test automation endeavors. We specialize in guiding clients to formulate the ideal strategy customized to their requirements, encompassing vital aspects including toolset selection, team structure, development strategy (develop modular, reusable test scripts, E2E automation strategy), execution plan (including CICD) and maintenance approach.

Test Automation Planning

We help customers for the better plan the Test automation scripts delivery and execution. Our approach to test automation planning involves collaborating closely with customers to define clear objectives and scope. The Automation planning document will be crafted with the plans required to execute the Automation project.

Define Automation Scope

We help customers define the ideal test automation scope by analyzing their application to identify critical functionalities, frequently used features, and areas prone to regression. Through collaborative discussions and aligning with business goals, we prioritize test cases with the highest ROI, focusing on high-impact scenarios to maximize efficiency and ensure meaningful test coverage.

Estimation & Benefits Preparation

We offer test automation estimation services using industry-standard definitions of test complexity, analyzing the intricacies of testing requirements to estimate automation effort accurately. Additionally, we prepare detailed analysis of automation benefits and ROI, outlining potential cost savings and quality improvements.

Automation Environment Setup

Automation Execution Environment Setup

We assist customers in establishing the environment for executing test automation. This involves setting up prerequisites for framework installation, installing necessary tools and software, and configuring system settings as required.

Commercial Tools Installation and Setup (UFT, Tosca, Worksoft etc)

We support customers in installing and configuring commercial test automation tools such as UFT, Tosca, Worksoft and other commercial test automation toolsets. Our services include setting up the license server for automation tools, configuring the database server, setting up the tool client, execution engine setup, and performing basic mandatory configurations necessary for automation script development. We undertake all these steps to ensure that the tool is fully prepared for automation script development.

Automation Project Delivery

Test Cases Automation

We automate manual test cases using suitable tools to expedite testing processes, ensure accuracy, and enhance overall efficiency in software testing.
By automating manual regression test cases, ensuring comprehensive coverage and faster feedback loops for agile development. Rather than simply automating test cases outright, we first conduct a thorough analysis to devise the best design for covering the necessary test steps. This approach ensures that our automation efforts are strategically aligned with the testing objectives, maximizing test coverage and effectiveness.
Automate with commercial and open source tools

Script Maintenance

We prioritize regular updates and optimizations to automation scripts, ensuring they remain synchronized with evolving application features and UI changes. By proactively maintaining scripts, we mitigate the risk of script failures and maximize the longevity and effectiveness of automated testing efforts.

Audit & Reviews

Test Automation Auditing

Automation auditing involves a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s automation practices, processes, and tools. This evaluation encompasses reviewing automation strategies, inspecting code quality and test cases, and analyzing test data relevance. Through this process, we identify gaps, provide actionable recommendations to enhance automation effectiveness

Code Reviews and Improvement Suggestions

We conduct thorough code reviews to ensure that the developed code adheres to coding standards and best practices. Through this process, we provide clients with valuable insights on areas for improvement, aiming to enhance the code’s quality and ultimately deliver better results.

Recommendations for High ROI

We conduct thorough analysis of client’s automation strategies, identifying any gaps or inefficiencies. Through this process, we suggest areas where improvements can be made to maximize return on investment (ROI). Our recommendations are tailored to address these gaps and optimize automation efforts, aiming to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve higher quality outputs.

Automation Standards Definition and Best Practices

We offer clients access to industry-leading automation standards and best practices, meticulously curated to ensure optimal performance and quality in their automation endeavors. These standards encompass a comprehensive set of guidelines, methodologies, and techniques derived from industry expertise and experience. By leveraging these standards, we empower clients to adopt proven approaches and frameworks that drive efficiency, reliability, and innovation in their automation initiatives, ultimately enhancing their competitive edge and achieving superior outcomes.

Framework Security Vulnerability Checks

We conduct rigorous security vulnerability checks on open-source frameworks within our clients’ automation setups. This involves thorough analysis to identify any potential security risks or weaknesses present in the framework. Upon discovery, we provide comprehensive solutions and recommendations to mitigate these issues effectively. By addressing security concerns proactively, we ensure that our clients’ automation frameworks remain robust, resilient, and safeguarded against potential threats, thereby enhancing overall security posture and protecting valuable assets.

RPA with Open Source

We collaborate with clients to implement Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions using open-source frameworks, providing a cost-effective approach to automate repetitive tasks and streamline business processes. We enable organizations to optimize workflows, reduce manual efforts, and boost productivity without the expense of commercial RPA platforms. Our proficiency in open-source RPA frameworks ensures that clients achieve tailored automation solutions that align precisely with their requirements while maximizing cost efficiency.

QA Automation COE Support

We setup a dedicated QA Automation Center of Excellence (COE) to support clients in their automation initiatives. Our COE serves as a central point of contact for client automation teams, offering assistance with issues, questions, and guidance in test automation delivery. We specialize in providing support for open-source framework issues and queries, filling the gap often encountered in obtaining such support. By operating as a COE, we ensure that clients’ automation teams have reliable expertise and resources readily available to enhance their automation efforts effectively.
