Centrify Leverages Testing Platform to Achieve An 80% Automation Rate

Centrify worked with LogiGear to seek a standardized approach to functional testing, reduce technical debt, and maintain test scripts in order to increase automation coverage with each new build. LogiGear automated a number of existing tests, during an initial pilot program and provided training to all of the teams in order to meet Centrify’s objective. The outcome was a complete test automation framework that enabled Centrify to align software development and testing groups, unite test designers, testers and automation engineers, and integrate their onshore and offshore testing teams.

Commscope Implements Successful Automation Program with LogiGear to Expand Coverage from 0 to 90%

CommScope

CommScope, a networking company, relied on an on-shore testing partner using manual methods to test the core back-end functionality of its networking software. Because of the time-consuming nature and high cost of the manual testing service, CommScope chose to bypass testing the GUI component of its solution, having reasoned it to be "mature" and not subject to much change. CommScope's customers learned otherwise — with GUI bugs found in every new release. Ultimately, CommScope turned to LogiGear. Using TestArchitect, LogiGear automated over 4,000 test cases, expanded coverage from 0% to 90%, and automated GUI testing in only 20 machine hours.

Halliburton Successfully Utilizes Offshore Resources in Agile Environment to Reduce Defects by 97%

Halliburton

Landmark Graphics is a wholly owned subsidiary of Halliburton and is the premier provider of software and technology services for the upstream oil and gas industry. After hiring LogiGear to automate their testing process, Landmark had a three month beta program with select key customers. The improvements in quality were substantial. In the end, there was an 84% decrease in defects found in beta and a 97% reduction in the known issues found at product shipment.

Learning Device Manufacturer Transforms Software Testing Efforts

LeapFrog

When LeapFrog embarked upon an ambitious strategy for new market leadership in the intensely competitive children's educational electronics industry, improved operational efficiency was critical to success. LogiGear took on the challenge, utilizing its offshore center in Vietnam to implement Action Based Testing with the TestArchitect toolset. With LogiGear's help, LeapFrog decreased its QA staff from a range of 30-40, down to 11 full-time, highly skilled engineers eliminated seasonal hiring challenges and decreased hourly testing costs by 30% below that of its prior outsourcing effort.

Achieving the Full Potential of Test Automation

Achieving the Full Potential of Test Automation Whitepaper

This paper will first discuss the key benefits of software test automation, and then examine the most common techniques used to implement software test automation. It will then analyze prevalent reasons why test automation efforts fail to meet their potential.

Finally, this paper concludes with an examination in how using a keyword-driven approach to test automation allows organizations to avoid problems inherent in other approaches and benefit from test automation. Action Based Testing™, the latest methodology from the original architect of the keyword method, and the TestArchitect™ toolset will be presented as proven real-world examples of why test automation is the optimal solution.

Avoiding the Pitfalls of Test Automation

Avoiding the Pitfalls of Test Automation

Test automation has the potential to speed up release cycles, increase coverage and ultimately provide greater confidence in the quality of the software being released. However, software test automation can be a costly investment with low returns if not properly executed.

This paper outlines the top challenges that are not immediately obvious when initially implementing test automation and provides steps that can be taken to avoid the pitfalls or take corrective action.

Data-Driven Testing with Keywords

Data-Driven Testing with Keywords

From years of experience it has been proven time and again that test design is a major driver for automation success. Design becomes even more important when dealing with large amounts of data. The tools and techniques that help in managing and inputting data can help or hinder automation depending on test construction. When tests are well organized and written in the right level of detail, automated tests of all types can be very efficient and maintainable.

Leading Practice for Testing Modern and Complex IoT Robotics Anki Overdrive

Leading Practice for Testing Modern and Complex IoT Robotics Anki Overdrive

Games today must be significantly more complex and innovative from a technological and entertainment perspective to be successful in the hyper-competitive market today. Clearly, these more complex products require a much more sophisticated and smarter testing strategy to support this business need. LogiGear provided product testing services to Anki for its robotic battle-racing game, Anki Overdrive, which included a highly integrated system of robotic cars, mobile controllers and a configurable track. The innovative testing strategy combined many traditional test methods with new smarter testing solutions. This comprehensive plan gave Anki confidence that their product would be market ready and well tested.

The Business Case for Outsourcing to Vietnam

The Business Case for Outsourcing Software Testing to Vietnam

This white paper provides a business case for considering Vietnam as an offshore outsourcing destination, and offers specific examples from the IT and software industries, including a US software testing firm with a facility in Vietnam.

This paper begins by outlining a framework for evaluating potential outsourcing destinations. It then proceeds to evaluate Vietnam against the framework, demonstrating that Vietnam is worthy of strong consideration as an offshore outsourcing destination for information technology functions including development and software testing.
