Automating Mobile & Web Application Testing
Behavioral Health Team
Behavioral Health, a digital initiative by the insurance group, stands out as a vital player in supporting employee mental health. Its rich digital platform offers employers essential tools to aid employee well-being, such as personalized resources, clinical treatments, and tailored educational programs. In their mission to enhance employee engagement and destigmatize mental health issues, the Behavioral Health team adopted Qyrus as an automation tool for web and mobile application testing, facilitating a seamless transition from their previous systems.
About/Overview
The importance of the organization’s Behavioral Health cannot be overstated—it is central to nurturing employee welfare through its all-encompassing digital platform. As they embarked on re-platforming their systems to enhance user experience, they recognized the need for a reliable testing solution that guarantees the high quality of their web and mobile applications. By shifting from Selenium to Qyrus, they managed to simplify the complexities associated with script creation, thus enabling faster and more efficient testing.
Challenge
Before embracing Qyrus, the company faced several challenges in their testing processes:
Complexity with Selenium: Crafting and maintaining scripts using Selenium demanded substantial coding expertise, particularly in C#, making it a time-intensive endeavor.
Lack of Mobile Automation: The inability of Selenium to offer comprehensive mobile application testing contributed to significant test coverage gaps.
Efficiency Concerns: Conducting smoke tests was both time-consuming and resource-heavy, causing delays in upholding application quality.
Life with Qyrus
Features & Values
The adoption of Qyrus addressed these challenges, revolutionizing the organization’s approach to testing.
Key Features Utilized:
Ease of Use: As a Selenium alternative, Qyrus supplanted Selenium by offering a user-friendly interface with low-code testing features, which diminished reliance on extensive technical knowledge.
Web and Mobile Testing: Thanks to its comprehensive support for both platforms, Qyrus allowed the company to execute tests smoothly across various devices.
Manual Step Creation: The ability to manually craft and execute test scripts streamlined the process, rendering testing more accessible and efficient.
Support and Training: Qyrus’ dedicated support team enabled swift adoption and sustained success in testing processes.
Results
The organization experienced notable improvements after integrating Qyrus:
Time Savings: Rewriting smoke tests with Qyrus took merely 1.5 hours, a stark contrast to the entire week required with Selenium.
Ease of Adoption: As a Selenium alternative, the transition to Qyrus was smooth, alleviating stress and frustration while facilitating training for additional QA members.
Eliminated Selenium Overheads: By eliminating the dependency on Selenium QA automation engineers with the adoption of Qyrus as a Selenium alternative, the team cut costs associated with hiring specialized expertise.
Enhanced Collaboration: Demonstrating Qyrus to other QA teams at the company sparked widespread interest and engagement, democratizing testing processes across teams.
Future Dreams
Results + Outcome
The successful integration of Qyrus in Behavioral Health’s workflow has notably simplified their test automation of mobile apps and web applications. The platform’s low-code capabilities, coupled with its efficiency and ease of use, have positioned the organization’s Behavioral Health application to scale their testing operations, further supporting their digital transformation objectives.
Aspirations
Looking ahead, the business plans to broaden their use of Qyrus across a more extensive test suite, particularly as they continue to replatform their applications. By persistently exploring Qyrus’ features, the team aspires to further refine their testing processes, improve application quality, and sustain their leadership in mental health support.
By continually advancing their testing processes with Qyrus, the organization aims to uphold its dedication to mental health support and digital innovation.
