Qualitest and an anonymised fashion and apparel retailer: Ecommerce platform test automation case analysed
Verdict: what is checkable
The evidence grade (this site's label for how a case is sourced: primary with client or press confirmation, secondary when vendor-hosted only.) is secondary: the only source is the vendor's own page; the case publishes no metric, so nothing in it can be checked as a figure. [ev-1235]
Client profile as published
- Client
a well-established and reputable British sports-fashion retail business with over 40 years of operation
(the vendor's description; the vendor does not name the client)- Segment
- Fashion and apparel
- Region
- United Kingdom
- Channels
- ecommerce
- Size indicators
over 40 years of operation
;employs over 44,488 individuals
The client description and size indicators are quoted from the source; segment, region and channels are this site's classification. [ev-1235]
Systems in scope
- Ecommerce platform: web application for an existing eCommerce website named in a section of the case page; no platform named
Where the source names each system is quoted or summarised from the case page. [ev-1235]
Problem as stated
The retailer was building its own web application for its existing ecommerce website and had many features to test in a short time. Manual testing alone could not keep pace, and test data and shared objects were hard to manage across the site's several fascias. [ev-1235]
It was difficult to accomplish this using manual testing since there were many facets(quoted from the source)
Approach
- Testing types
- automation and functional (main scope: automation)
- Team shape
- automation test specialists
- Duration
- not stated
- Engagement model
- not stated
- Tooling named in the source
- Java, Selenium, QualiFrame Framework
Metrics claimed
The case publishes no metric.
What the case does not say
- Baseline before the engagement.
- Measurement method.
- Duration over which the metric held.
- Team size on both sides.
- Cost.
- What was out of scope.
- Whether the client is still a client.
- Date of the work.
Reading notes for a buyer
This case speaks to the scenario “Ecommerce platform migration” and feeds dimension D4 (Test automation evidence) of the methodology. A question to put to Qualitest:
By how much did parallel execution across browsers cut regression run time, and how many test cases does the suite hold? [ev-1235]
