The Solution
- Jade detailed and defined QA processes leading to less QA turnaround time to test the system with End-to-End regression test support with a shift-left approach to identify defects at an early stage
- Implemented the Jenkins CI/CD - Scheduled test execution over the weekend
- Executed well-documented test artifacts (test cases, execution results, execution logs, etc.)
- With domain expertise, smoothened Architect, Dev, and QA engagement during the project life cycle
Business Requirements
Save a lot uses Oracle Fusion as an ERP System. As part of business growth, it needs to make frequent changes/enhancements and configuration changes. In the absence of a regression pack, only progression testing and sanity testing were carried out. Save a Lot wanted a regression test pack and the ability to auto-run it as part of the release cycle
Save a Lot had complex and dependent use cases along with Testing of Approval hierarchies Test execution on multiple environments like UAT & PROD, resulting in the time required for the testing
Save a lot required Centralized team scenarios which are time-consuming and require many clicks and navigation through multiple screens. E.g., testing of the Requisition to Pay process involves more than 100 clicks and data entry on more than 12 screens and takes more than an hour to test just one test scenario
Business Challenges
Frequent Releases
Smoke test needs to be performed whenever lower POD is refreshed from Production
Dedicated Resources are needed to test all possible scenarios to cover key business processes
Business user’s time and efforts are required to complete UAT and sign off for both Patches and fixes
The Business Benefits
- The Jenkins CI/CD - Scheduled test execution over the weekend saved human efforts, minimized human errors, and maximized test coverage on production and UAT environment

- 100% Test coverage in tune with essential project stakeholders ensured reliable end product
- 75% time saved due to end-to-end complex flows reusable test scripts for all test iterations
- Significant efficiency of up to 80% due to modifying and merging existing and newly created automated test suite and executing it in one go
- KPIs around Defects, Test coverage, and Test effectiveness provided 100% transparency on QA project progress and performance
