Building an Unified Test Automation for Web and Mobile for a large Ecommerce Unicorn

A major e-commerce unicorn, faced the challenge of maintaining quality across their rapidly expanding web and mobile platforms. With millions of daily transactions and frequent feature releases, they needed a unified test automation solution to ensure consistent user experiences and faster time-to-market. The company's goal was to implement a scalable automation framework capable of handling their complex, multi-platform ecosystem and supporting their ambitious growth targets. Our mission was to design and deploy a comprehensive, unified test automation strategy that would revolutionize their quality assurance processes and reinforce their market-leading position.

Challenges

Platform diversity

Ensuring consistent functionality across web and mobile platforms with different codebases and user interfaces.

Scale and performance

Handling the load of testing a vast product catalog and high transaction volumes without slowing down development cycles.

Test data management

Maintaining up-to-date and relevant test data across multiple environments and platforms.

Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)

Integrating automated tests seamlessly into the fast-paced CI/CD pipeline without causing bottlenecks.

Maintenance overhead

Keeping test scripts up-to-date with frequent UI changes and new feature additions across platforms.

Solutions

Unified framework with WebdriverIO

Implemented WebdriverIO as the core automation framework, allowing for cross-platform test script development.
