Project Summary

LiveLink Technology Ltd engaged TestArmy for staff augmentation and test automation to address a large regression-testing gap. TestArmy reviewed the existing framework and translated manual tests into automated ones using Ruby-based tooling and image-comparison libraries, enabling parallel test execution and automating over a hundred test cases. The client praised TestArmy’s communication, accessibility, and breadth of expertise.

Key Challenges

Needed to automate many regression tests
Lacked internal capacity to complete automation within the desired timeframe

Project Deliverables

Automated test cases for calendar and card flows (including prism builder)
Implemented and configured an automated test suite and enabled parallel test execution
Test automation implemented using Ruby, RSpec, Selenium, and image-comparison via RMagick/MiniMagick

Project Solution

TestArmy reviewed the client’s existing test framework and focused on automating key areas (calendars, cards, and the prism builder) rather than replacing the full framework. They translated manual tests into automated scripts, configured the test suite to run in parallel, and used Ruby with RSpec and Selenium plus image-comparison tools (RMagick/MiniMagick). The engagement involved a small team (three people) including a sales manager, an initial reviewer, and a dedicated Test Automation Engineer (Jakub).

Project Outcome

Automated 134 test cases in total
Automated 80 test cases for the prism builder area
Converted key test packs to fully automated execution and enabled parallel test runs
Met client expectations and improved regression testing coverage and speed
