Project Summary

A knowledge management company (Keeeb) hired Abstracta to augment internal QA with 3–4 testers who implemented automated performance, load and API tests and supplemented regression testing. Abstracta increased automated test coverage from 0 to about 90 cases and grew manual test cases from 30 to about 300, improving sprint velocity and quality focus. The engagement ran from Aug. 2020 to Jan. 2021 and used JMeter and TestRail for testing and case management.

Key Challenges

Only one internal QA resource for roughly 11 engineers
Budget constraints preventing hiring a full-time tester
Need to deliver a comprehensive test suite while controlling costs

Project Deliverables

Automated performance, load, and API tests
Manual regression test coverage
Test cases and test-suite implementation (TestRail)
Test case management and documentation

Project Solution

Abstracta provided flexible staffing for a range of testing services, focusing on automated testing for performance, load and API and adding a manual tester to bolster regression testing. They used JMeter to manage API and performance tests and TestRail for test case management. They supplied a team of 3–4 people through the engagement and performed a current-state assessment to integrate with the client's engineering flow.

Project Outcome

Increased automated testing from 0 to about 90 cases within two months
Expanded manual regression cases from about 30 to about 300
Improved sprint velocity and enabled a more quality-focused development effort
Seamless team integration and regular project check-ins

Quality of Deliverables

“Abstracta’s efforts helped the company become more quality-focused. They raised automated testing cases from zero to 90, and manual testing jumped from 30 cases to 300. Besides learning about the company’s product, they took the time to understand the internal culture to integrate with the staff.”
