Test automation is an integral part of our test strategy.
Test automation has gained considerable popularity in recent years. Especially in agile projects, the automation of test cases is indispensable due to fast development and release cycles in order to provide developers with quick feedback and relieve testers of repetitive tasks.
We work on projects in various industries, for banks, automotive companies, insurance companies, the education sector and the public sector and feel at home in all software development/procedure models, whether agile or classic, we use the appropriate test methods in automation for every approach.
- You get the right automation tool depending on the technology, test level and application area
- You work with value-adding metrics
- You benefit from the testability and maintainability of your systems
- We create a proof of concept (POC)
- You get automation implemented practically in the project
Project
The new large-value payment system for international payment transactions
One of the largest European national banks was faced with the challenge of modernizing its existing payments platform to meet increased international and regulatory requirements. The project aimed to develop a robust and technologically advanced platform for international payments and supports the latest technical standards, including the ISO 20022 messaging standard, and introduces centralized liquidity management.
Part of the solution consisted of building a comprehensive test automation strategy that included Back end and GUI testing and developing an in-house cloud-based test infrastructure. This infrastructure was used not only for this project, but also in other projects of the European national bank in order to exploit synergies and increase efficiency.
Consulting in test automation:
What are the goals you want to achieve with test automation?
Which is the right automation tool for your area of application?
Which of your tests and processes should be automated?
Since automation means investing – what is the optimal use of resources?
Are the target test environments ready and stable enough?
Is your test documentation adequate to start test automation?
In the fast-paced world of software development, time is of the essence.
With the latest advances in test automation, you can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of your tests and reduce time to market.
Test automation is crucial in agile software development as it enables faster feedback cycles and continuous integration. Automated testing gives developers immediate feedback on code changes, which supports early bug detection and fixes. This is particularly important in agile environments, which rely on fast iterations due to shortened development and release cycles.
Overall, test automation supports the agile principles of continuous improvement and the delivery of high-quality software by ensuring that new features are seamlessly integrated and that the software always remains functional.

Strategy for test automation
The time capacities of the test automation experts in the project are often tight and structure and planning are required to automate test cases in a targeted manner. This is where a test automation strategy can help. We clarify the questions of why, how and what should be automated and develop your test automation strategy together in this workshop.
From manual to automated test cases
Manual test cases often exist before automated ones. How do I select the appropriate test cases to be included in the test automation? Which test cases are suitable for automation? How does the test design differ? And why shouldn't all test cases be automated? We will get to the bottom of these and other questions together.
Setting up a framework for test automation
At the start of a test automation project, you are faced with a wide range of options. How do I decide which is the best test automation framework for the project? How do I know which design pattern best suits my needs? And how do I set up the project and integrate it into the test infrastructure? We will analyze your project situation together and develop the test automation framework for your project.
We look forward to your inquiry!
Our team unites a colorful mix of professional backgrounds and we share the curiosity and desire to increase software quality through test automation.
We are happy to provide support with conceptualization, proofs of concepts or hands-on work in test automation.
