Challenge
An automotive manufacturer sought to improve and accelerate its testing process to ensure the quality of its applications, reduce execution time and improve test coverage. Initially, the company had just 108 manually modeled tests. The team needed to understand the application and, through the exploratory testing technique, model new tests to increase coverage. Additionally, there was a need to validate mandatory data, ensure information integrity, improve data persistence and user experience.
Solution
To meet the automaker's needs, we expanded the test suite significantly. We implement test automation tools, such as Robot Framework, to automate regression testing. The focus was to ensure that all critical areas of the application were covered, integrating automatic and manual tests to optimize the performance and effectiveness of the processes.
Of the 353 modeled tests, 248 were automated,
resulting in a significant reduction in execution time, from approximately 9:00 to 5:30, saving approximately 3:30 per test cycle.
