Client Overview
US based leading manufacturer that produces residential and commercial water heaters and boilers, as well as heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment delivering a new level of efficiency, convenience and comfort to users.
Business Challenge
- The client was facing delays in design release to production due to manual testing process. For the same, they wanted a solution that could automate and streamline the testing process with maximum test coverage and expedite their releases
- Also, manual testing seemed challenging and reduced testing efficiency with the large volume of devices (100K+) being produced
VOLANSYS Contribution
- Developed test automation tool for client by leveraging Robot framework (python based) to automate testing for mobile to end device and vice versa
- Mobile Application (Android & iOS)
- Functional testing
- UI testing
- End devices
- Functional testing
- Mobile Application (Android & iOS)
- AWS Device Farm integration with automation suite that allows execution of the suite on wide range of devices covering various OS versions
and screen resolution for robust testing - Executed 1100+ test cases (95% plus coverage) for various water heater devices
- Test case management using TestRail
- Maintain release in BitRise
- Scheduled Build trigger in Jenkins
- AWS S3 bucket integration for reports
- Support to add multiple devices for testing within the automation framework that reduces test cycles and execution time
- Cloud API automation using Postman to validate cloud response on every deployment cycle on respective environments based on Jenkins Auto
build trigger configuration - Performance testing using Python and Locust by writing test scenarios in Python code on around 120k devices on AWS EC2 instances
- Generated test reports in HTML, XML format for mobile, end devices using Robot framework and for cloud using Newman reporter
