Challenges:
One of their key clients, a global retail brand, was launching a mobile app aimed at enhancing customer experiences. The app included features such as personalized recommendations, loyalty tracking, and a streamlined checkout flow. With a strict 4-week timeline for launch and no room for errors during the critical holiday shopping season, the stakes were high.
The QA Challenges:
- The app needed to function seamlessly across 20+ devices on both iOS and Android.
- Frequent updates during development introduced bugs that disrupted key functionalities, such as payment processing.
- Manual testing was too slow to keep up with the rapid development cycle, leading to delays and incomplete test coverage.
How vStellar Solved It
To address these challenges, Creative Vision integrated vStellar’s QA automation framework into the project workflow:
Device-Specific Mobile Testing:
vStellar’s mobile testing automated end-to-end tests for checkout flows, ensuring functionality across all targeted devices. Tests simulated real-world conditions, such as network variability and user behaviors, for accurate results.
Parallel Testing:
vStellar enabled parallel execution of tests across devices, reducing total testing time by 70%. Checkout flows, loyalty tracking, and user profile features were tested simultaneously.
Regression Automation:
Automated regression tests were triggered after every development update, identifying and fixing issues in real-time. These tests validated over 500 scenarios, including edge cases like invalid payment details and cart abandonment.
Real-Time Reporting:
Customizable dashboards gave the retail client live insights into test progress, defect rates, and device coverage. Instant defect logs and screenshots streamlined developer collaboration and resolution times.
