Partnership that powers possibilities Let’s Build Together

Challenges

  • No functional test process integrated with agile workflows.
  • Lack of reusable testing for high-priority functionalities across releases.
  • No existing functional or API automation suites.
  • Absence of defined load testing strategy.

Overview

QA & Testing Solution for a Mobile Marketing Automation Platform

Techstern was engaged to strengthen the quality assurance process for a leading mobile marketing automation platform that drives large-scale customer engagement campaigns. The application handled critical user transactions, RESTful API interactions, and high-volume requests, making robust functional, API, and performance testing essential.

Our mandate was to establish a comprehensive QA strategy covering manual, automated, and load testing. This included building functional and API automation frameworks from scratch, creating a regression test suite, integrating QA into the CI/CD pipeline, and ensuring the application could handle high-traffic scenarios reliably.

Objectives

  • Establish an end-to-end functional testing process.
  • Perform routine testing and maintenance aligned with agile sprints.
  • Build a functional test automation framework.
  • Develop and automate a regression test suite.
  • Design API automation scripts for RESTful endpoints.
  • Conduct load testing on high-traffic requests.

Modules

Solution

We implemented a comprehensive QA solution addressing all aspects of testing:
