PROBLEM STATEMENT

The Countless Challenges

The client aimed to provide real-time stock market data to users through their mobile app, where accuracy and speed were paramount. Given the constantly changing nature of financial data, it was critical to ensure users always received the latest information. The challenge lay in automating the testing of over 4,000 test cases across both Android and iOS platforms to verify data accuracy, app stability, and performance. Manual testing was insufficient to keep up with the volume and complexity of the test scenarios, making automation essential to maintain the app’s reliability, minimize issue slippage, and deliver a seamless user experience.

Developed independent automation scripts for distinct scenarios, enabling parallel execution and minimizing testing time.
Integrated automated tests into Jenkins for continuous integration, allowing for seamless and automated execution with each app update.
Provided futuristic QA and automation roadmap & helped them in standardizing the QA /testing process at an organization level.

What we did?

Comprehensive Test Case Development

Robust Automation Framework

Handling Live Stock Data

Regression Automation Testing

Comprehensive Test Case Development

Created detailed and organized test cases by systematically addressing critical functionalities like data retrieval & display, UI interactions, and user inputs. Each test case was structured with a unique ID, descriptive title, priority level (High, Medium, Low), preconditions, clear test steps, expected results, actual results, status, and additional comments. Our test cases are focused on the core features and not just about covering user interactions with buttons & navigations, and validating input fields for search functionality. We prioritized and ensured that the most critical features are thoroughly tested first, helping maintain app reliability and user satisfaction.

Robust Automation Framework

Implemented an automation framework using Appium for cross-platform testing on both Android and iOS as it enables efficient test execution. By creating a robust framework, we managed test cases, organized test data, and integrated reporting tools for better visibility into test results. We integrated cloud-based solution BrowserStack with Appium to enable concurrent execution on multiple mobile devices, enhancing coverage and efficiency. Therefore, we significantly reduced the time required for testing and ensured consistent execution across devices

Handling Live Stock Data

Ensuring real-time stock pricing accuracy was a challenge as the data fluctuates every second. We developed automation scripts to monitor data inflows from the stock exchange that verified the correct data format across all listings. More close monitoring was done for priority listings. We captured data at set intervals, and validated them within defined limits. If any significant deviation happened, an automated email was sent to the team to manually verify whether the pricing had changed or if incorrect data was being displayed.

Regression Automation Testing

As the client was missing a lot of issues during deployments, our primary goal was to ensure zero defect spill rate. So by automating the regression testing of 4000+ test cases, we were able to drastically bring down the rate of bug slippage and ensured the quality of every product release. In addition to improved quality, it also reduced the manual effort required by the team which in turn enhanced team collaboration on other critical activities such as exploratory testing, peer reviews, and so on to improve user satisfaction.
