CASE STUDY

End-to-end Testing Helps Leading Low-cost Airline Deploy Multiple ProductionReleases in a Single Week

CCS-UK006-0116


Key RequirementsThe initial scope of the project was manual functional testing of their new website.

With client gaining confidence in Cigniti’s delivery capability, it was later expanded to provide services in the areas of Test Preparation, Compatibility, Mobile, Usability, and Exploratory & Performance Testing.

Types of TestingSanity, E2E, Smoke, System, Compatibility, Regression, Manual, Integration, Mobile, and Defect retesting (defects posted by our team and other teams).

Testing ToolsTest Rail, JIRA, Selenium, Appium (Mobile),Cucumber/Gherkin

Application performance on devices was very slow over VPN / Fiddler and thus execution coverage was limited in areas like Check-in, Seats.

Coverage on mobile tablets (iPad Mini, iPad Air, Samsung Tab3, Galaxy Note 10.1) was limited as application was not loading properly on these models.

Performance on IE 10.0 and IE 11.0 browsers was poor and required a lot of code optimization. Even Testing on Safari (Windows) was not covered in execution as the application did not load on this browser.

Release plan and deployment schedules were not available. Test Strategy for System Integration testing was not in place.

Key Business Challenges


Developed 400+ Functional end-to-end Test Scenarios from scratch.

Leveraged in-house Airline domain expertise in identifying and authoring business critical scenarios for ETE testing.

Performed Exploratory testing for User Stories resulting in finding 91 defects outside of the test case execution.

Solution Highlights

Agility in responding to business needs: Cigniti’s ability to scale up to the ever changing release dynamics enabled multiple production releases in a single week and in getting the website ready for the peak business window ahead of time.

Unparalleled customer experience: Cigniti team reported 1500+ defects in Jira across multiple modules that resulted in highlighting the critical issues at an early stage of development. This enabled the client to take critical decisions and helped them identify top priority fixes and work towards resolving them, making the website more user friendly.

Leverage mix of onshore v/s Offshore efforts: Leveraged the time zone differences by providing Smoke, Sanity and In Test SIT / UAT defect retest reports by the time Dublin team started their work. This helped the program to assess quality of the builds and enabled them to take a decision on pushing the code to production in a quick turnaround time.
