Client
Global Document Management Leader Seeks Tailored Performance Testing
The client is a leader in business process and document management, with over 130,000 employees across more than 180 countries. With the business undergoing rapid change and expansion, the client wanted reliable and tailored performance testing services to improve their test strategy.
Challenge
Lengthy Regression Testing Hampers Agility
The client faced significant delays due to regression testing times, where even small releases with high-risk functionalities could take weeks to manually test. Additionally, there was no centralized Quality/Test/Defect management tool across the enterprise. The test process was fragmented across QA, pre-production layers, third-party systems, and interfaces.
The client also struggled with an extensive regression pack, comprising over 900 test cases, which took 4-6 weeks to complete, and had inadequate documentation. With increasing demands and a large team needed for each release, there were resource shortages and insufficient support for testing activities.
Solution
Accelerated Testing Through Automation
Hexaware was able to address and solve the client’s needs with a multi-pronged approach:
- We addressed test management issues by setting up defect and test management best practices using HP QC and centralized storage for test cases, artefacts, and defects.
- Our proprietary UI Scanner was used to accelerate automation, while SAP TAO was used to automate SAP GUI functionality. A robust framework was built for interface testing.
- For performance regression, we used automation and performance testing to ensure faster release cycles, reducing turnaround time to less than two weeks.
- Manual functional testing was also optimized through integration testing, across critical global projects with minimal business handover.
Hexaware utilized tools such as SAP TAO automation, HP QTP, HP QC, and HP LoadRunner within diverse environments like SAP CRM, SAP ECC, SAP Enterprise Portal, Salesforce, and third-party applications. This was done across various domains including Managed Print Services, Contract Lifecycle Management, Customer Interactive Center, and HCM.
