Case Study: Test Automation (API), Functional, Performance, and Security testing
CHALLENGE & TEST REQUIREMENTS
-
A4L was seeking a partner with strong test expertise to design and execute testing in the following areas:
- API testing
- Performance scripts to validate load and standard response time
- Security testing to uncover any flaws in the system that could compromise data and functionality
- Compatibility and accessibility testing to validate functionality and compliance to ADA standards
-
A4L team was not accustomed to communicating their internal process standards to vendors they had not used previously and this brought about a number of challenges
- Documentation standards
- Churn for internal reviews
- Use of tools
- Process standards
- Accessibility Testing was a new area for A4L, which QAC provided expertise in
- QAC had to determine how to test 27 Web Services effectively and in limited time
- QAC provided training to the A4L team on usage of both Jira and Zephyr
SOLUTION & APPROACH
-
A comprehensive set of tools were recommended and introduced to A4L to manage the project
- Jira and Zephyr to manage execution and results
- SOAP UI to test all Application Programming interfaces
- Load runner for performance to test the capacity of this first of a kind solution
- QAC team managed all deliverables to satisfy FDA requirements
- Team had to test 27 Web services and designed 700 test cases, which were automated using SOAP UI
QUICK FACTS
- Analytics 4 Life is a digital health company. Using AI to Diagnose Coronary Artery Disease at the Point-of-Care
- The digital health company’s cardiac imaging tech is designed to help physicians assess the presence of coronary artery disease using signals from the body – without the use of radiation or contrast agents.
