Challenge

NIX joined a large team consisting of more than 100 engineers, product owners, and architects distributed across multiple locations. The client’s assortment included various enterprise-level products that employed different technologies, testing methods, user interfaces, middleware, etc.

Collaborating with the client’s team, we needed to devise a cohesive testing strategy across the board and set up an effectively curated process that would guarantee quality for diverse testing objectives brought together under a single expansive product brand.

Solution

NIX established a turn-key offshore center of competence that combined multiple teams with comprehensive technical expertise in multiple areas, integrated by the delivery process and testing methodology.

The hands-on NIX QA team developed a number of frameworks and custom components for automated testing that accelerated the development and deployment process of Cortellis and other flagship products of the client.

To expedite the testing process, we developed various tailor-made solutions for test harness, test stand deployment, reporting, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), source control, and quality management systems.

The solution encompassed the subsequent activities:

Functional testing of UI, API, and Middleware using tools such as .NET, NUnit, WebDriver, MS Entity Framework, and MS SQL

Performance and benchmark testing with the help of JMeter scripts and custom Java components on Linux OS

Data validation and data integrity by utilizing PL/SQL, Oracle, and Linux, with automatic setup and execution
