The Challenge

The client, a prominent American multinational chain of coffeehouses and roastery reserves, encountered significant challenges related to testing within their Customer Experience Engineering (CXE) initiative. The company sought ways to enhance its customer experience through rapid adaptation to changing requirements, accelerated delivery of new capabilities, and effective resolution of performance issues.

 

Our Approach

Striving for Agile Testing: To address the challenge of swiftly responding to changing requirements, The AES Group implemented an agile testing methodology. Leveraging Xcode, AppCenter, and Jenkins, the company established a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline, enabling seamless testing and deployment in response to evolving customer needs.

Accelerating Testing Cycles: Recognizing the need to expedite the delivery of new capabilities, The AES Group focused on optimizing testing cycles. Through the utilization of TestFlight, the company implemented efficient beta testing, allowing for rapid feedback and validation of new features before full-scale deployment.

Modernizing Testing Infrastructure: In alignment with the client’s goal of upgrading to a modern architecture, The AES Group spearheaded the modernization of the testing infrastructure. Migration from V1 to V2 endpoints for APIs, coupled with the use of NewRelic and DataDog, ensured that testing frameworks were aligned with the upgraded systems, addressing performance issues and enhancing overall reliability.

Streamlining Regression Testing: Recognizing the importance of streamlining processes and reducing human capital costs, The AES Group adopted a strategic approach to regression testing. By leveraging an offshore testing team, the company reduced regression testing times, allowing for more efficient validation of changes and faster delivery of new capabilities.

Comprehensive Automation Testing: To increase testing coverage and efficiency, The AES Group implemented comprehensive automation testing. This involved automation of test coverage for various smartphone models and operating systems, ensuring that the customer-facing applications were thoroughly tested across different environments.

 

Our Outcomes

Reduced Time-to-Market: The agile testing methodology, coupled with automation and streamlined processes, contributed to a significant reduction in time-to-market. The client could respond swiftly to changing requirements, delivering new capabilities promptly and maintaining a competitive edge.

Improved System Reliability: The migration to V2 endpoints for APIs, combined with robust testing practices, resulted in improved system reliability. Performance issues were identified and addressed proactively, ensuring a more stable and scalable customer experience.

Efficient Regression Testing: By engaging an offshore testing team, The AES Group successfully reduced regression testing times. This not only contributed to operational efficiency but also allowed the client to implement changes with confidence, knowing that comprehensive testing had been conducted.

Enhanced Testing Coverage: The implementation of automation testing across different smartphone models and operating systems significantly increased testing coverage. This contributed to the overall reliability and consistency of the customer-facing applications, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
