Intertech provides Information Technology services to the financial industry. With their 30 years of expertise in the Finance sector, Intertech offers these services in over 40 financial institutions. Introducing and expanding the test automation and quality culture in finance sector is harder compared to other sectors, because of the outdated technologies commonly used specifically in this sector. For Intertech, test automation and quality culture have become crucial success KPIs since they serve their customers with a single code infrastructure.

Since the day it has been established, Intertech has developed four core banking platforms used in many domestic and international banks and expanded its product range using its experience. As well as providing financial application products, the company offers customer relationship management, business process management, data mining, business intelligence & digital channels, infrastructure management and payment systems for various products. Today, its products are used mainly in Europe and MEA countries.

Key Insights

Challenges faced

The most challenging issues we faced in this cultural conversion project were lack of test data due to information security policies, collaborated services with different companies, high number of incoming calls during the day, unexpected change of priorities and poor understanding of product teams of test automation and quality.

Waterfall methodology was applied in the projects and there was a short amount of time for testing. In terms of the test culture, testing was only the responsibility of a particular person or group. Product teams did not have a specific test scope, test plan and regression test set, and setting up a test scope was considered as an unnecessary workload.

Solutions Designed

We formed/generated a 4-stage plan to overcome these problems. In the beginning, we initiated the DevOps process, then continued by converting the process to Agile. By determining and prioritizing our team’s duties, we started testing and quality transformation process.

In order to improve code quality, we guided teams to dissolve issues in SonarQube projects on a sprint basis and to analyze the code written by each developer in the team by installing the SonarLint plug-in to its IDE. In this way, we ensured that the code quality in the projects increased continuously. We also defined a specific quality gate for each project, ensuring that no bugs or technical debts were allowed in the newly written code. Today, there are no critical or blocker bugs left in most of the projects and the number of problematic issues in the projects continues to decrease regularly.

Test data generation and virtualization services were written for solving test data problems and reducing dependence on the third parties.

Apart from all this, the most challenging issue for our team was that product teams did not adopt the test & quality process and saw it as an unnecessary workload. We followed two methods to overcome this; we first determined the level of each team by creating test automation and quality maturity levels.

Secondly, we prepared road maps specific to the team structure by working together with product teams. In order to motivate product teams in this process and make this process more fun, we turned it into a gamified process.

We have realized the risks after the structural test transformation and started managing effectively. We ensured that our product is being developed via a test-driven process

Results implemented

Test automation & quality process were adopted as a core company culture. Product teams acknowledged the importance of adopting the test automation & quality culture.

Monolithic projects have been transformed into micro-service architecture and eventually a modern architecture was established. The environment became also suitable for writing unit tests and integration tests. We have achieved 80% code coverage in these projects. All the teams we worked with had a regression plan and they ran these plans on every sprint. All pre-written UI tests ran regularly with our Testinium product. In many projects, bug and vulnerability scores have been reset or decreased to almost zero. Thanks to the quality gates which were specifically defined for projects, the increase in technical debt and the arrival of new bugs were prevented. As a result of CI / CD processes, all of our projects were automatically tested after they were built.

Ensuring the performance of running 13.000 test scenarios with our Testinium product.

Increasing the parallelism of UI tests from 24 to 48.

Why Test Automation is Necessary?

Testinium — Thu, 01 Jul 2021 13:22:49 +0000

Any company that is developing a software product should perform testing. Testing is an important part of product development, particularly when it comes to ensuring quality. Many small and mid-sized businesses neglect research, despite the fact that it is important for producing a reliable product. It’s important to have tests in place, but it’s also important to know how to run them. At all times, manual testing should be minimized. Furthermore, test automation enhances overall software development performance and allows for the creation of more robust tools.

Manual testing is favored by some firms, but it is not the best way. When you have tests in place, the next logical step is to automate the testing process. Check out this infographic to see some of the advantages of test automation:

Solutions

Before starting, customer and our team worked closely to decide the process aiming to make risk management. For this reason, we began to use BDD to be close to product managers and business teams. It also let us see the features of the testable products. By Testinium’s unique support of BDD, we were able to reports the status of tests clearly by stating the failed steps.

The risk that we had to optimize for Modanisa.com was too high as we are testing three different clients. For this reason, parallel test execution is implemented with the help of Testinium. We have increased the speed, agility of our tests and decreased the test duration to a great extent. During this optimization process, by providing the knowledge and experiences of all units to the tests, we made sure the tests were improved in every respect.

We created the structural testing processes within the software life cycle.

Our aim was to establish high testing standards and enable quality transformation for all our product teams. Testinium mentor teams helped us achieve our goals and improve our projects.

47.9M customers

General Outlook

Turkcell is a telecommunication and technology services provider, founded in 1994, headquartered in Turkey. Turkcell provide services to its customers with voice, data, TV and value-added consumer and enterprise services on mobile and fixed networks. Turkcell Group of companies serve 67 million subscribers in 9 countries – Turkey, Ukraine, Belarus, Northern Cyprus, Germany, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Moldova.

BİP is a instant messaging application. Basic features of BİP are text messaging, voice messaging , VoIP and video calls. First challenge is those core features are affected by network interruptions, changes or app notification installed on mobile device. Second challenge is having a large user base with various Android and iOS devices. Lastly, BİP is used in different countries with different languages so texts on the app’s components changes according to regional settings of the mobile device

Challenges

Turkcell has to make sure that communication quality is running seamlessly and localization varies according to device language. In order to achieve device coverage with all those challenges, automation is placed in the center of quality pipeline. As Turkcell has 2 weeks cycle sprints, we need to make sure Continuous Testing principles should be applied.

We have created a team of 6 test engineers. This team consist of test analysts and software developers in test (SDET). Test planning, test case documentation and test case scripting are divided in this group. While test analysts analyzed the project needs, and create test cases by using requirements, SDETs worked hard to analyze the challenges they would face during the implementation of test automation.

In order to achieve those challenges, we have used below technologies and approached:

Appium is a defacto standard for mobile automation projects. It supports mainstream development languages. It is open source core helps us develop custom solutions while using it.
Page Object Pattern is adopted in the script development as it enables SDETs to enhancing test maintenance and reducing code duplication. Java Development language is used.
Testinium developed by our R&D team. It is based on Selenium Grid and AWS. It manages test planning and Continuous Testing and Execution.

Automated Testing Can Yield Enormous Positive Outcomes

Increased Test Efficiency

Increased Test Effectiveness

Shorted Time to Market

As most important features of an IM application is conducted cross devices, we had to create a synchronization system integrated with Selenium Grid to control mobile devices before, during and after conversation tests. This layer is based on a synchronization algorithm where it control status of all devices in a conversation so our automation suite runs on more than one device simultaneously. During those test; one device become the sender, the others become the receiver. By synchronizing those device in the conversation we managed a device to wait for its peer while sending a reply to a message or a call. All devices have to finish their job for a test to pass.

As a user is on the move, he or she will encounter different challenges during daily usage like signal loss, signal strength weakness. We created a library to manipulate network settings of mobile devices connected to our mobile device lab. Having that layer allowed use to turn on/off wifi or change our network connection from 3G to EDGE or close all network connection during any type of conversation in Android and iOS devices.

Testinium developed by our R&D team is tool. It has Continuous Integration, Test Planning, Execution and reporting feature. Test Planning feature helps test engineer to group automated test cases. So test cases are grouped according to test cycles like smoke test, system tests and regression test. And they can be scheduled to execute different date and time. Testinium is also integrated with our device farm consisting 100 Android and iOS devices. By using Testinium we ran our test in 19 iPhones( iOS varying from 8.x to 10.x) and 21 Android devices(varying from 4.4.2 to 6.0 versions and different brands).
