The e-commerce company was going through a technical transformation, they needed to deliver new functionalities for auto dealers. There was a need for a mixture of skills: .Net Core, API Testing, and some manual testing. They already had some pre-existing QA teams with no setup of test automation frameworks. We presented them our map and created a roadmap with the various points that need to be implemented and prioritized.

Skill Gaps

LevelsWhat you will learn from the map
It's worth noting that in your company, you may be conducting various types of tests. So you may have elements from both the first and last levels already implemented. Some parts may take a long time. However, this doesn't mean that you have to complete all previous levels to implement from next one. For us and our partners, these are guidelines that help plan action plans for the next quarters.
The blueprint consists of 6 levels:
- Level 1: This level is essentially about familiarizing yourself with the project and taking the first steps in implementing certain tools.
- Level 2: Implementing certain testing patterns and testing the most critical paths.
- Level 3: Critical paths have already been tested and automated before release.
- Level 4: The team has expertise in the product domain, and QA is autonomous.
- Level 5: The team begins to focus on performance, certain threats are already monitored, and regression is automated.
- Level 6: Performance tests are run once a month, and the whole team takes responsibility for quality of product.

Before and afterProblem Statement
- October 17, 2022
- November 10, 2022
Started in one team responsible for Quality aspects of that team. Then helped to build a scalable test automation framework in the platform team that could have been reused between multiple teams. Took care of proper regression setup and plugged everything into pipelines. In the meantime, part of the team was doing API testing, manual testing, and exploratory testing to ensure top-notch software quality. Our QA helped with day-to-day operations and made major improvements in processes.
- December 20, 2023
The QA engineers led to enhanced software quality, reduced error rates, improved user satisfaction, and improved internal processes. They created a regression test suit and covered it with test automation, allowing for safer, easier, and faster deployments. All are plugged into a quality tracking system. Decreased the amount of bugs shipped to production by over 65%, while decreasing the time needed for release by 18%, boosting software reliability and enhancing its market competitiveness and client trust.
