Project Summary

a1qa partnered with a Canadian software company's CTO to build a test automation framework and automated test cases following a discovery phase. They implemented automation framework, reporting, CI integration, nightly runs, performed performance testing, and helped deliver Power BI/data-warehouse dashboards via their parent company. The engagement grew automation coverage to roughly 60% of application flows, saving the client thousands of manual hours per quarter and enabling faster, higher-quality releases.

Key Challenges

Build a test automation framework and automated test cases to reduce manual regression testing.
Start from zero automation across the application.

Project Deliverables

Automation framework
Automated test cases and test suite
Reporting and integration with build pipelines
Automated nightly test runs
Migration from TeamCity to Azure DevOps
Performance testing services
Power BI dashboard (data warehouse dashboards)

Project Solution

After a discovery phase and demos, a1qa built an automation framework with reporting, integrated automated tests into the client's build pipelines, and set up automated nightly runs. They wrote automated test scenarios and added them to the regression suite. They assisted with migrating CI from TeamCity to Azure DevOps, performed performance testing, and supported the build of a Power BI dashboard via their parent company, iTransition.

Project Outcome
