Challenges We Faced

While implementing automated testing for the Business Intelligence platform, Developex encountered several significant challenges. These hurdles required strategic solutions and adaptability to ensure the efficacy of the testing process. Key challenges included:

Platform Complexity

Business Intelligence platform is a complex portal with many interdependencies and unique functionality. This created a challenge in writing effective autotests that can meet the needs of the platform.

24/7 Tools Selection

Experience with various test automation tools, such as Testim and Reflect, did not meet expectations due to difficulties in adapting to the specifics of the BI platform.

Technology Change

Moving to a new version of the product with a new UI required a review of self-testing approaches, as previous tests became obsolete. This required a transition to new programming languages and tools.
