Project Summary

Abstracta provided consulting, testing tool integration for GeneXus, training, automated testing and capacity monitoring for a financial services firm beginning in Jan. 2012.

  • Manual testing processes were time-consuming and inefficient

Project Deliverables

  • Consulting and testing tool integration for GeneXus
  • Training for the testing team
  • Automated test suites using Apache JMeter and Selenium
