QA Automation Project for an Enterprise Pharmaceutical Company

A leading pharmaceutical company was facing challenges with their existing manual testing processes. The inefficiency and high error rates in manual testing were delaying product releases and increasing costs. The company decided to partner with AgileVerify to implement QA Automation and streamline their testing process, improve accuracy, and accelerate time-to-market for their products.

1. Reduce Manual Testing Efforts: Minimize the dependency on manual testing and reduce the time required for test execution.
2. Improve Test Accuracy: Enhance the accuracy and reliability of test results.
3. Accelerate Time-to-Market: Speed up the testing process to enable faster product releases.
4. Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Maintain compliance with industry regulations and standards.

Tools Used: Selenium, TestNG, Jenkins, Maven, JIRA

The project began with a thorough assessment of the existing testing processes, tools, and frameworks. A detailed plan was created outlining the project scope, timelines, resources, and deliverables.

Based on the assessment, Selenium was chosen as the primary tool for automation due to its compatibility with web applications and extensive community support. TestNG was selected for test management and execution, while Jenkins was used for Continuous Integration (CI).

Automation scripts were developed for critical test cases. The scripts were designed to be reusable, maintainable, and scalable. Test data management was implemented to ensure comprehensive test coverage.

The automation framework was integrated with Jenkins to enable continuous testing. Automated tests were scheduled to run during off-peak hours to maximize resource utilization. The integration ensured immediate feedback on code changes, allowing for quicker defect resolution.

Automated tests were executed, and detailed reports were generated. The reports provided insights into test results, highlighting defects and areas that required attention. JIRA was used to track and manage defects.

1. Reduced Testing Time: Automation reduced the testing time by 60%, enabling faster product releases.
2. Improved Accuracy: Automated tests improved the accuracy and reliability of test results by 53%.
3. Cost Savings: The reduction in manual testing efforts resulted in significant cost savings.
4. Regulatory Compliance: The automated testing process ensured compliance with industry regulations, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
