Client’s challenges
Operating globally, our client encountered significant challenges related to their testing processes. Firstly, the company faced uncertainty about which test cases to automate and prioritize, resulting in gaps in test coverage and the potential for critical issues to go undetected. Additionally, the client struggled with insufficient staffing for UiPath and test automation, which hindered their ability to efficiently implement automation strategies. These testing challenges posed a considerable risk to their business processes.
Elevating the quality of their in-house tools and SAP processes was paramount to maintaining their competitive edge in the market.
By reducing manual testing efforts through automation, the client aimed to detect bugs faster, increase overall efficiency, and ensure the reliability of their SAP processes and integrated software systems.
Sixsentix’s Solution
To address the challenges faced by the client, Sixsentix deployed a comprehensive and tailored solution that catered to their specific needs. With multiple integrated software systems in their production management, including Salesforce, SAP, and a webshop, the setup of UiPath test automation required meticulous attention to process flows in end-to-end scenarios, as well as careful derivation of data and functionality from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).
Our solution began with a thorough Test Coverage Analysis, wherein we conducted an in-depth examination of the application under test. This allowed us to identify critical areas that required automation, ensuring we focused on the most impactful test cases. We prioritized test cases based on factors such as business impact, risk, and frequency of execution, creating a clear test coverage strategy that addressed the most vital functionalities and scenarios. While creating automated test cases, we faced the challenge of several business processes changing. We implemented the changes in the test case.
In addition to our technical expertise, Sixsentix emphasized collaboration and communication throughout the project.
The project took place in the customer's IT department, together with the application teams.
“We established a close working relationship with the client's development team and SMEs to facilitate the seamless automation of processes and ensure the correct usage of test data. Moreover, we promptly communicated any discovered bugs during the implementation of the test automation work, allowing for efficient resolution and continuous improvement.”
