Solebit (MimeCast), a company that provides identification and prevention of zero-day malware and unknown threats, was facing significant challenges with their testing processes. The existing automation tests, designed and developed by the in-house team, were not efficient. The tests were manually triggered by developers in a terminal, resulting in a large and complex file of results. The tests took over 20 hours to complete, and there was no history of the test runs available. The architecture of the test suite was unscalable, making it difficult to maintain a large number of test machines. The challenge was to create a simple runner for tests, increase their speed, redesign the architecture to support cloud platform integration, make the tests run more easily, and generate a clean report with all the necessary details. Additionally, improvements were needed for the current testing process, and some manual testing was also required.

Sprinklr, a tech platform designed to assist large brands in creating and managing social campaigns, was facing significant challenges with their testing processes. The existing test suite, developed by another company, was unstable and unreliable. Each test run resulted in a different number of randomly failed tests, making it impossible for the team to rely on the tests for release decisions. The tests were time-consuming, often taking several hours to complete. The architecture of the test suite was not scalable and was difficult to maintain for a large number of tests. Furthermore, the tests could not be integrated with other testing and DevOps tools. The challenge was to build a formal QA process, stabilize automated tests, increase their speed, redesign the architecture to support integration with third-party tools, and keep test documentation up to date.
