CASE STUDY
CLIENT DESCRIPTION
Client is an American multinational company headquartered in Sunnyvale
California with additional offices in Bangalore, India. Founded in May 2013,
it provides an in-depth data integration and analytics platform focused on
Datacenter and Cloud management. The client’s technology platform
transcends the entire domain of network infrastructure, storage, servers,
computing, applications and business services – to bring about essential
correlations that have never existed before.
BACKGROUND
Client was struggling with daily testing activities. Significant time was being
spent by the client’s team in certifying release candidate builds / beta builds.
It was taking lot of time to execute test cases. Client tried different automation
tools and the effort was not successful.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Client’s product was undergoing periodic changes which included changes in
APIs (web services) and UI. At the same time validation and verification of
golden builds was time consuming and delayed the whole release cycles.
ENTER AFOUR TECHNOLOGIES
Client approached AFourTech to identify solution for efficient API testing.
AFourTech initially went to client’s premises. Based on the observations & other
inputs form the client, AFour prepared demonstration with various tools and
technologies for automation. Post that, AFour team worked at client’s as well as

testing concerns:
• Introduced process to regularly scrub test cases to optimize number of
regression test cases. Also this ensured up to date & valid regression test cases.
• Assigned priorities to test cases (features). These were used while automating
the test cases.
• Identified test automation opportunities (e.g. seed data generation, regression
testing, API testing) and conducted test automation POC to validate automation
feasibility.
• Developed test automation framework for API testing
• Automated 290+ API test cases
• Used harness UI to trigger automation
TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGIES
Python, JavaScript, HTML
