Business Challenge

The client was struggling to cope with the downsides of manual QA testing – which was not just a time-consuming process but also error-prone. With a continuously changing website and many third-party integrations it was difficult for their QA Team to keep up.

Additionally, they the client worked with a waterfall methodology which was not conducive to a continuous delivery framework. Configuration of clients and setting up data was again time-consuming, and hence a growing challenge.

Solution

Fulcrum zeroed in on Robot framework for automation for the client, as it is an open-source platform. Robot framework is also application and platform-independent – these reasons further advocated the framework-selection process.

The framework consists of standard libraries that are packaged, such as the Outstanding Reporting system. Fulcrum built a keyword-driven framework with coding standards, and also implemented a robust mechanism to review the codes.

Continuous integration and development were not just faster but also a reliable way of application-delivery.
