The challenge
Oh!GiftCard wanted to bring test automation into its quality strategy, but faced some challenges that are typical for organizations starting this journey:
- Teams with limited automation experience.
- Reduced internal capacity to lead the initiative.
- Need to choose the right tool for their applications and processes.
- Lack of a defined methodology to build and maintain an automated suite over time.
The goal was not only to automate tests, but to develop internal capabilities that would allow the practice to be sustained and evolved autonomously.
The solution
Qualis Lab supported Oh!GiftCard from the earliest stages of the initiative, starting with proof-of-concept exercises (POCs) to evaluate different alternatives and determine which tool best fit the organization's needs.
Once the solution was selected, we worked together on:
- Implementation of the Ranorex automation platform.
- Definition of best practices and a working methodology.
- Initial build of the automated suite.
- Technical training of internal teams.
- Mentoring and operational support during adoption.
- Knowledge transfer to guarantee technological independence.
The approach was designed so that Oh!GiftCard could quickly gain hands-on experience and develop the skills needed to manage and expand automation without depending on third parties.
Results
- Successful implementation of an automation platform aligned with business needs.
- Teams equipped to develop and maintain automation on their own.
- A sustainable working methodology for managing automated tests.
- Reduced dependency on external resources for daily operations.
- A reusable and scalable automated baseline.
- A consolidated automation practice that continues to grow and evolve inside the organization today.
