Project Summary

PLANEKS was hired to provide manual and automation testing services for a SaaS startup, working with the client's Node.js/Selenium/CucumberJs stack. They provided immediate manual QA coverage and assembled a team of automation engineers to build the client's in-house test framework. Automated tests (acceptance and regression suites) have reduced manual effort and improved the client's CI/CD readiness. Communication and collaboration used Slack, Jira and GitHub, with PLANEKS QAs integrated into engineering standups.

Key Challenges

  • Constant platform development required preventing downtime and regressions
  • Need for a bug-free app with a quick feedback cycle to support frequent production deploys
  • Difficulty finding test automation engineers competent in Node.js who write acceptable, maintainable code

Project Deliverables

  • Acceptance test suite (~100 tests running in ~5 minutes)
  • Overnight regression test suite (full test run)
  • Node.js/Selenium/CucumberJs test automation framework support
  • Manual QA coverage and ongoing QA deliverables
