Problem Statement: Client adds new products on a regular basis, currently we are handling 6 products. Our team was responsible to automate their feature including manual testing which was very challenging. Client also required real time updates to critical issues which were possible to affect the release. Deployment was also a challenge because at times we received builds frequently to deploy and test. In a couple of products we got the implementation very close to release.
Solution: Assign resources for each major/minor projects with one module lead and individual responsible of his/her module. Seeing the QA skill set, we scheduled training of products - this saved time. It’s wasn’t possible to automate all test cases in parallel to release but we found a solution to it - Identify the p1 test cases, reviewed it first with development team to make sure that around these cases there are no more development changes, finally we automated the approved test cases to reduce the maintenance part. To have better coordination, we allotted QAs in different shifts to have more overlapping hours, it worked well for us and the client as well. QA involvements from Day-1 helped in understanding the product and plan the QA Cycle effectively.
