US Multinational Accelerates Testing Cycles by 60%
With emerging technologies rapidly gaining ground in the communications sector, the communications software applications market is expected to reach $11.4 billion by 2024.
The customer, an American multinational tech giant with a communication software userbase of 115 million, wanted to validate physical device compatibility for the collaboration platform whilst retaining a seamless end-user experience.
By deploying an automated solution to meet the customer’s needs, Apexon was able to deliver significant business benefits, including:
An in-depth analysis of the customer’s existing processes revealed various challenges like:
Physical Device Compatibility Validating physical device compatibility across 15 device models for every major and minor software version changes
Increased Validation Requests Rapidly expanding set of device models and variants across which the validation had to be executed
Limited Turnaround Time Limited turnaround time for testing due to aggressive time-to-market
To tackle the challenges at hand, Apexon developed an automated solution using an open-source Robot Framework which included:
Multiple Testing Device configuration testing using Python so that multiple models and variants could be tested using the same scripts
User-friendly Logging User-friendly logging to ensure easy maintenance and debugging
Parallel Execution Parallel execution so that multiple device sets could be tested simultaneously
Integrated Automation Integrating the automation solution to Azure pipeline for unattended overnight execution
