Project Overview

LegalAtoms breaks down legal cases preparation into a simple guided experience through a series of questions. At every step, you'll see precise info from court officials and lawyers.  Once you're ready you can e-file your documents with a few clicks, all while saving thousands in fees. 

Objectives

•  Knowledge of both Cypress and GitHub which we’d had ample experience with.
•  Familiarity with AWS and CircleCI. We had to brush up our skills on these.

Challenge

The forms were really big with dynamically added elements and Angular magic:) Plus, the initial tests were written in Typescript so we had to switch to it from the more habitual Javascript. It took some learning curve and overtime hours to bring our test scenarios to the level of pre-existing, finely designed framework on top of Cypress. Eventually, we adapted to the style and added some recursive functions to traverse the web elements and fill in randomly generated data with minimal code.

Our Solution

We had to think in Typescript which was challenging at first but the challenges were offset by catching the test code issues at compile time and leveraged types and interfaces of Typescript. We developed a fast response routine by setting up email alerts in CircleCI when tests failed on Cypress Dashboard. Our test suite grew and morphed in accordance with the changes in the underlying functionality being tested.

Project Overview

The client represents a marking agency which automates ad placement in various social platforms. The product lets advertisers manage large number of ads from a single dashboard. When the client approached us they had no testing processes in place. The lead architect did the testing before the releases himself. That led to some nasty issues slipping through and going into production website unnoticed.

Objectives

•  Review and analyze system specifications
•  Execute test cases (manual or automated) and analyze results
•  Create logs to document testing phases and defects
•  Report bugs and errors to development teams
•  Help troubleshoot issues
•  Conduct post-release/ post-implementation testing
•  Automate test execution

Challenge

We needed to test websites across multiple platforms, operating systems and geo-locations. The main challenge was to identify quality assurance process bottleneck and suggest actions for improvement. The deliverables were screenshots and/or video recordings of found problems with explanation on how to re-create them.

Our Solution

Our response to this challenge was to own and specialize in specific areas of complex testing. Our QA assigned to this role was the primary point of contact for specific features between our testers and internal development team of our partners. Our QA learned to utilize the tools used internally within our partner’s team to assist with test cases and sales testing. He also backed up QA Lead by assisting with reports, scrums and communication.

Results

After writing thorough test cases that covers the possible testing scenarios including the edge cases we started automated the regression suite with Selenium + Python. We did a little experiment and incorporated “Screenplay” design pattern into our testing which performed surprisingly well both from organizational and performance standpoints.

•  Automated the regression testing and ensured quality practices are built into the SDLC and DevOps practices.
•  Reviewed, analyzed and documented business and user requirements for technology product development.
•  Ensured that business requirements are fully met before each release; certified releases for quality and completeness of functionality.
•  Developed and implemented testing practices and tools as part of the framework which ensure releases are defect-free and perform at or better than expected levels.

Project Overview

A mobile game for pre-school kids available for IOS and Android. Our job involved: testing the game in a systematic way, analyzing the game's performance against the designer's intentions, identifying and reporting problems, and suggesting improvements. However, it also involved creativity and ingenuity, which is used to figure how to ‘break’ the game in different and unique ways. In effect, we acted as the game's first audience by reporting on playability and identifying any aspects that could be improved.

Objectives

•  Categorize and prioritize bugs
•  Develop software quality management system
•  Anticipate different ways the game will be played by people around the world

Challenge

Testing involved playing the same game repeatedly for weeks at a time, testing different levels and versions or revisions of the game. Sometimes, different teams were responsible for specific sections or areas of a game. The work could be repetitive and tedious; however, we were able to stay motivated and test the game long after the novelty and fun factor may have worn off. We had to accept that we had only limited influence over the design and worked methodically on testing within the constrains we faced.

Our Solution

Given our understanding of game design, how games are created, and how the different elements of a game contribute to the playing experience we were able not only identify and record a problem, but also try to work out what is causing it. By honing our communication skills with other members of the team across the world we had them onboard when we came up with our solutions to the testing challenges. Our engineer responsible for QA’ing this project could maintain concentration while playing games for long periods of time because of his passion for playing games.

Results

The game was launched on App Store and Google Play market after successful beta testing.

•  A better user experience for in-app purchases
•  Smooth UX across a wide range of phones and tablets
•  Software quality management system to document finding and maintain a change log

Project Overview

ScaleGrid creates advanced database management products for open source databases. Easily deploy, monitor, backup and scale MySQL, PostgreSQL, Greenplum®, Redis™ and MongoDB® database with a few simple clicks.

Objectives

• Create detailed, comprehensive and well-structured test plans and test cases
• Estimate, prioritize, plan, and coordinate testing activities
• Design, develop and execute automation scripts using open source tools
• Identify, record, document thoroughly and track bugs
•  Perform thorough regression testing when bugs are resolved

Challenge

The role requires advanced infrastructure knowledge, Linux system administration and debugging skills on RH and Debian variants. We needed to delve deeper into Vagrant, LXC / LXD containers and understand and test how database clusters are created, imported, updated, backed up and deleted in various Linux distribution images like Ubuntu, Debian, Centos. And then the testing automation needs to be cross-platform and test the relevant releases of DBs coming from various vendors

Our Solution

To solve these testing challenges we relied on our hands-on experience with both white box and black box testing and draw on our experience with automated testing tools. Our QA worked on optimizing the existing Gherkin scenarios. We used high-level scenario steps to better reflect the business logic make sense for all the stakeholders while performing low-level system interactions on the implementation side. The automated testing workflow looks like this: first we create a feature testing branch from the repo’s main branch, then we start working on the tests by building on the top of NodeJs infrastructure (cucumber.js, chimps.js, javascript). After local tests the code gets pushed on Github and Jenkins picks up the changes, build and runs the tests. We get a report with the results and drill down into any issues revealed by the tests.

•  Participate in Requirement and Functional Specification reviews of new features to convert them to comprehensive Test Specifications
•  Document, troubleshoot and follow-up on issues found during testing
•  Report, prioritize, track, and manage deficiencies
•  Mentor other testers

Challenge

The system under test is really complex and multi-faceted. In addition to that we had to pick up an automated testing framework that was altogether new to us - CodeceptJS. Moreover, the existing testing framework was geared to both mobile and web testing and we had to account for that as well. Another challenge is the multi-step pipeline leading to the deployment to production. We had to gain deeper understanding into how Bamboo works and how the configuration change from one environment to another.

Our Solution

In parallel with manually testing the live streaming service we actively engaged in learning how CodeceptJS works also relying on the excellent video and presentation materials provided by the company. Through communication with the long-time employees who worked on the framework we were able be up and running in no matter of time. Our QA engineer responsible for the project participated in KT sessions and Scrum ceremonies seamlessly integrating with the company culture. Also worth mentioning is that we brought in our broad knowledge of testing tools, methodologies and automated testing processes that helped tackle the challenges.

Results

The work is still ongoing but we already achieved some results we can share.

•  More estimated points are closed for testing tasks sprint over sprint
•  Increased test coverage
•  Clearer testing scope definition
•  Keep track of and own team quality metrics that drive QA targets
•  Established post-release testing routine
