Project Summary

Pwrteams (formerly Skelia) built an automation framework and provided ad hoc manual testing for the client's Connect survey app using C#, Selenium, and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). The vendor supplied one dedicated automation developer and a second shared tester and delivered a regression suite and manual testing support. The engagement ran from Dec. 2015 to Feb. 2017 and was completed; the client found the team flexible and responsive but noted unresolved technical issues and room for stronger project management.

Key Challenges

Needed to create an automation framework for the Connect survey app
Required ad hoc manual testing and QA support beyond internal capacity
Required use of C# for maintainability and integration with VSTS-based workflows

Project Deliverables

Automation framework using C# and Selenium
Regression suite integrated with Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS)
Manual ad hoc testing services

Project Solution

Pwrteams helped create and implement an automation framework per the client's specifications using C# and Selenium, and integrated the solution with Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) to run an ad hoc regression suite. They also provided manual testing support using VSTS’s test manager for manual testing, issue tracking, and bug management. One automation developer worked exclusively on the project while a second resource provided flexible manual-testing support.

Project Outcome

Delivered the requested automation framework and provided manual testing support
Client derived value from both the framework and manual testing, though some technical issues remained unresolved

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.”
