hours saved per month on software testing
reduction in release candidate testing
The Vision
System Automation Corporation provides software platforms for licensing and board management. Headquartered in Maryland, the company has supported over 500 agencies and 20 million licensees throughout America for 50 years. The MyLicense platform — one of their web application products — was launched 24 years ago and has been a leading licensing and board management platform in the country.
To ensure ongoing business operations, the development team required a test automation solution that reliably protects their web application products.
The Challenge
The software development team was looking for a replacement for Selenium from a technical perspective, and also an affordable alternative to the commercial solution they were using at the time.
Selenium presents a bit of a learning curve, so when evaluating the next potential test automation tool, they considered ease of use as an important factor.
The team currently included one Quality Assurance engineer who was a former developer. With his technical programming background, Selenium would work for him. However, considering future testers who might not have strong technical skills, adapting to Selenium could be more challenging for them and affect the team's pace.
The Solution
Katalon Studio proved to be the ideal choice for sustaining their automated testing strategies.
Due to Katalon Studio's easy learning curve, expanding their team as they hire additional testers is a seamless process. The tool's design allows QA engineers to become proficient quickly, irrespective of their programming expertise.
The Results
Previously, the extensive testing required for release candidate (RC) testing cost the company thousands of dollars because the process was completely manual.
The impact has been significant. Prior to implementing automated testing with Katalon Studio, we needed to involve staff from various departments in the process, which was highly time-consuming and lasted 2 to 3 weeks. Now, with Katalon Studio, we accomplish the same tasks in just 5 to 6 hours.
