Mobile App Testing for an Automotive Financial Services Provider

Client

The client is a provider of automotive financial services in North America, offering a comprehensive range of vehicle financing plans and payment protection products through an extensive network of participating dealers. They sought a partner that could implement robust mobile app testing to shorten release cycles.

Challenge

Frequent upgrades driven by constant changes created a pressing need to enhance the client’s mobile app testing process. The client wanted to shorten release cycles while improving testing quality through proven tools and an industry-leading automation strategy.

Major app functionalities, including payment, scheduling, and reminder features across supported mobile platforms, required rigorous validation. After several failed attempts to manage these challenges with their existing vendor, the client decided to choose a new partner. They needed a vendor with proven strengths in formulating automated mobile app testing frameworks.

Solution

The client partnered with Hexaware to optimize financial application testing through a comprehensive and scalable strategy. Hexaware kick-started the process by evaluating various mobile test automation tools and frameworks to accelerate release testing.

After evaluation, we:

• Recommended the implementation of a SeeTest Automation and HP Unified Functional Testing (UFT) integrated mobile testing solution.
• Created a reusable regression suite of test scenarios to be used in future test cycles during upgrades and maintenance releases.
• Designed a hybrid framework comprising SeeTest and Quick Test Professional (QTP)/UFT to ensure efficient and sustainable test automation, enabling the reusability of test scripts across common business components.
• Developed and executed functional and regression test cases for critical business processes within the financial application.
• Conducted automated testing to validate the application’s data-driven functional behavior, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
• Ensured comprehensive test coverage by structuring the best business process tests to maximize resource efficiency and script reusability.
• Automated the mapping of execution results to test cases, generating framework reports with relevant screenshots for enhanced visibility.
