The Customer covers casualty and accident insurance solutions and delivers other insurance-related services to businesses in such areas as engineering, logistics & inventory, aviation, energy, and more.

Challenge

The Customer had a core insurance estimation software system under development. They required their new mission-critical microservices-based system integrated with multiple external solutions to run smoothly and without errors and disruptions.

The Customer needed to accelerate time-to-value and preserve high quality at the same time. For that, the Customer wanted to hand over the complete testing and QA process during their 2-year software development project.

Solution

The development project was done according to the Scrum model and testing went in parallel with development. To comply with these project prerequisites and the Customer s need for fast and quality releases, VolgoTechnologies test automation engineers decided to use its proprietary IMAAT (Integrated Manual and Automated Testing) approach that resides in a combination of automated and manual tests.

While a greater share of testing was automated, manual tests were employed to provide prompt response to developers after hotfixes. The automated testing environment was based on Protractor.

The tests were executed at both the UI and API levels. The latter significantly helped shift testing earlier in the development cycle and better cater to fast Scrum releases.
