The challenge

Slow solution development

As modern communication channels have multiplied, so too have the unique regulatory and compliance risks that come with them.

Lack of integration

This company’s archiving, and monitoring solutions were in place across a wide breadth of companies using a variety of communication channels.

Slow development with risk

It was essential to accelerate the solution development and enhancements to help the company stay ahead of any potential risks. But those new services had to be delivered with 100% assurance of quality and performance for users.

The Solution

End-to-end qe Services

Apexon provided the company with end-to-end QE services for its SaaS application including manual, automation, and performance testing in addition to helping their team define Agile processes.

The engagement started with an assessment of the company’s quality engineering maturity using Apexon’s proprietary assessment model which compares current capabilities to industry best practices.

Based on the results of the assessment and input from the company team, Apexon recommended and implemented the following approach:

Automated testing

Automated kickoff of smoke and regression testing through Jenkins jobs

Api performance testing

Performance testing of all of their different APIs

Test management & integration

Use of TestRail test management tool to maintain all test assets and integration of automation with TestRail to push all results to the tool

Generating test data

Improved utility creation to generate test data

API testing automation

Automation of all testing for their APIs using Apexon’s Quality Automation Framework (QAF)

With Apexon providing automated end-to-end testing, the company was able to accelerate the delivery of new enhancements to its SaaS platform and keep its customers free and clear of any regulatory and compliance problems.
