Project Summary

The vendor built an automation framework and provided ad-hoc manual testing for Connect, the client’s annual survey application, using C#, Selenium, and VSTS. One automation developer worked full-time on the project and a second resource provided manual testing; the engagement ran from December 2015 to February 2017. The client reported the framework and testing delivered value and that the team was responsive and flexible, though some technical issues and project-management communication gaps limited progress.

Key Challenges

  • Needed an automation framework and ad-hoc manual testing to support the Connect annual survey app.
  • The workload exceeded a single internal resource, requiring external support and coordination.

Project Deliverables

  • Automation framework implemented in C#
  • Selenium test automation
  • Regression suite integrated with VSTS
  • Manual/ad-hoc testing support

Project Solution

Skelia created and implemented an automation framework for the Connect survey app using C# and Selenium, integrated the regression suite with Visual Studio Team Services for ad-hoc runs, and provided manual testing support. One developer was dedicated to building the framework while a second resource delivered flexible, on-demand manual testing.

Project Outcome

  • Built the requested automation framework and provided manual testing support.
  • Delivered responsive support with quick turnaround (often overnight).
  • Client derived value from the framework and testing, although the assets were hard to quantify.

Quality of Deliverables

“Although they were flexible and responsive, they could benefit from expanding their technical expertise. They were faced with problems that were left unresolved, and their project management strategies could be improved. They offered a good rate, and they did develop the requested app framework.”
