CleverIT optimizes testing efficiency for mining company

Before partnering with CleverIt, our client faced a number of challenges managing their software tests. Automated test projects were restricted to the QA environment, which generated a significant delay in implementing changes in the UAT environment. Developmental changes they needed to go through a manual functional testing process at UAT that lasted two days, slowing down deployment to production. In addition, the transfer of new QA functionality to UAT also required another two days due to manual regression testing.

This situation generated unforeseen costs and an accumulation of work in the project backlog of this large mining company.

A clever solution

Our team of experts intervened by proposing a comprehensive solution to optimize the customer's testing processes. The company proposed the creation of automated tests specifically designed for the UAT environment, which would accelerate the validation of changes in this environment. In addition, modifications were made to existing automated tests, aimed at the QA environment, to improve their efficiency and adapt them to the UAT environment. Adjustments were also implemented in the test pipeline to speed up test execution times, eliminating bottlenecks and optimizing available resources.

Results for success

The implementation of the solutions proposed by CleverIT had a notable impact on the customer's operational efficiency:

• We achieved a 50% increase in the number of monthly steps to production. The optimization of testing processes made it possible to accelerate the software development and deployment cycle, reducing downtime and increasing the frequency of successful implementations.
• The costs associated with the manual labor of the UAT team decreased significantly. By automating testing in the UAT environment and improving test efficiency in the QA environment, the need for extra time to run manual tests was reduced, resulting in tangible savings for the customer.

In short, the collaboration with CleverIt allowed our client to overcome the challenges related to managing software tests, improving the speed, efficiency and quality of their application development and deployment processes.
