About Company
LendSpark is at the forefront of the fintech industry, innovating the way loans are managed and dispersed. By seamlessly connecting borrowers with investors, LendSpark leverages its crowdfunding platform to facilitate quicker, more efficient lending processes.
Before
Before our automation specialist was introduced to the project, the development team had established a robust suite of manual and unit tests for the web application. The mobile application was functional with minimal disruptions in production. Despite this, there was a significant gap in comprehensive test documentation, which was crucial for maintaining high standards of quality and consistency.
Challenges and Solutions
While working on the project, some challenges related to its unique features arose. And we are happy to share this experience with you.
Challenges | Solutions |
---|---|
Sparse test documentation for mobile application | Created detailed documentation, aligning mobile app testing with web standards |
Inefficient cross-platform testing strategy | Developed a unified testing framework for both web and mobile platforms to enhance consistency |
Slow adaptation to mobile-specific functionalities | Accelerated mobile testing by introducing targeted automation scripts for mobile-specific features |
Fluctuating test environments due to inconsistent data | Implemented mock data and simulation tools to stabilize test environments |
Difficulty in tracking the impact of UI changes on user experience | Established a UX-focused testing protocol, incorporating A/B testing and user feedback loops |
Technologies, Tools, and Approaches
To tackle the unique demands of both the web and mobile platforms, our automation tester employed a variety of key technologies:
- JavaScript was the primary programming language, allowing for the creation of flexible, adaptable test scripts.
- Cypress and Appium were used for efficient end-to-end testing of web and mobile applications, respectively.
- GitHub provided secure code storage and facilitated collaboration across the development team.
- CircleCI automated the CI/CD routines, ensuring continuous testing and rapid identification of issues.
Features Of The Project
One of the standout features of this project was the implementation of a dynamic testing dashboard. This dashboard provided real-time insights into testing progress, bug statistics, and test coverage for both web and mobile applications. It became an essential tool for the project managers and QA team to monitor quality metrics actively and make informed decisions quickly. This feature optimized the testing process and increased transparency and accountability within the testing team.
Results
- Over 150 test cases developed and automated, significantly reducing potential risks and improving quality assurance across platforms.
- Dynamic testing dashboard implemented, enhancing the visibility of the testing process and enabling quicker, data-driven decisions.
- Reduction in testing cycle time by 35%, thanks to efficient automation and streamlined processes.
- Improved user satisfaction and reduced error rates as a result of more rigorous and responsive testing protocols.
