Overview: Revolutionizing Quality Assurance with Test Automation
The client, a major US Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS) player, ran into problems as they tried to meet quality standards and add new features to their web application. With a project that was still going on and a promise to deliver timely, correct, and specialized information through business apps, the client wanted to make sure that all of the platforms worked well together. The client went to Binmile for help with these problems, and Binmile quickly came up with a solution by using a full end-to-end cross-browser test automation on the cloud platform.
Client Needs: Addressing Challenges with Test Automation for Enhanced Functionality
With a focus on serving banks, insurance companies, opportunity funds, government agencies, and dealers, the client needed different ways to work with CMBS, CRE, and CLO applications. To meet their business needs, they had to test the smooth operation of more than 20 applications on multiple platforms, such as desktop and mobile browsers and operating systems. The tech team was given the job of putting out high-quality releases quickly.
But problems with automatic testing made the testing team upset. The client looked at GRID for automation testing as a possible option. Still, setting up environments, platforms, end-to-end regression testing tools, dependencies, and package management took weeks or even months.
Challenges Faced by the Client
- Ensuring flawless UI performance across various browsers.
- Dealing with time-consuming and on-demand scalability issues.
- Requirement of a dedicated DevOps team.
- Limitations in running parallel sessions at scale.
The Solution: Cloud-based Test Automation with the ‘LAMBDA TEST’ Platform
The client chose Binmile to provide a cloud-based automation testing service to solve the problems with app testing and improve the speed of the app. However, by switching to cloud infrastructure and using the dedicated service given by ‘LAMBDA TEST,’ the client was able to build and run tests with better coverage. So, the dedicated software development team could focus on making a strong suite that works from beginning to end.
Browser Support
Subsequently, in terms of browser support, QA teams were able to perform automated cross-browser testing using Selenium scripts on over 2000 browsers. Additionally, LambdaTest played a crucial role in evaluating the rendering of web applications across a wide range of browsers.
Language and Framework Supports
Above all, Selenium Grid supported all languages and frameworks compatible with Selenium, providing comprehensive language and framework support. Moreover, the QA teams had the flexibility to utilize popular languages such as Java, C#, JavaScript, and PHP. Likewise, they also had access to frameworks such as JUnit, Cucumber, Behat, NUnit, Robot, WebDriverIO, NightWatchJS, Mocha, and JestLibrary.
Operating Systems & Mobile Devices
In terms of operating systems and mobile devices, the testing environment offered more than 10 desktop operating systems and six up-to-date browsers for product testing. Furthermore, for mobile application responsiveness testing, over 40 mobile devices with Android and iOS versions were readily available.
Overall, the adoption of Binmile’s cloud-based software testing services and LambdaTest enhanced the client’s testing capabilities. It provided them with a comprehensive platform for smooth application functioning across various browsers, languages, frameworks, operating systems, and mobile devices.
The Impact: Driving Efficiency and Quality through Test Automation
