The Challenge
The client needed to complete regression testing before moving a new build from staging to production. Regression testing typically takes around 72 hours (about three days).
To test adequately, we execute the regression test suite across various browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari, on multiple mobile devices (Android and iOS), tablets (Android and iOS), and desktop platforms (Windows and Mac).
Our Solution
An automation team was integrated into the development team to leverage JavaScript and a hybrid framework (Test-Driven using Page Object Model) and create a seamless workflow. This partnership allowed us to design a robust system to automate testing processes efficiently, ensuring prompt integration of new requirements into the automated regression.
Automated UI and API Validation
To automate the regression test suite's UI and API test cases, the development team implemented Cypress Test Automation. This tool ensures that the objects and programs are intuitive and everything functions correctly.
Efficient Test Automation Strategy
To execute the regression test suite across multiple browsers and machines, the team implemented BrowserStack's testing infrastructure. These tools work together to identify the test cases from the regression test suite to automate and avoid those we cannot automate (Captcha validations) to save time in manual execution.
Seamless Test Execution Across Environments
To integrate the automated test script with the application, the developers used Jenkins CI/CD tool to ensure seamless test execution in various environments and synchronization between builds. This integration facilitates seamless development automation, ensuring that changes are thoroughly tested and integrated into the regression, ultimately contributing to improved software quality and accelerated release cycles.

I wanted to take a moment to highlight and commemorate the efforts from our dedicated PIO team. To preface, the projects we work on here are complex, with rigid objectives, budgets, and timelines. Expectations are always high and are ever-changing. From the start of our relationship, the IO team was able to exceed expectations and make our business wishes a reality.
Over the past year I have worked with them, they have worked very hard to understand our highly customized system and troubleshoot things with little or no documentation while managing to keep the business up and running normally. Without the hard work and dedication they have shown, I know we would have had some issues causing downtime or lost production. I am looking forward to continuing working them in the next year as well.
I have been working with Programmers IO for more than 5 years now and I have been pleased with all projects and developers that I have worked with. We have had a few issues here and there but they have always fixed and made it right. They have been an excellent addition to our business.
