Frontier Airlines was performing manual testing for their website redevelopment, www.flyfrontier.com. Software testing was slow and incomplete with few standards.
Frontier needed automated testing assistance and leadership to develop a framework for quality assurance including regression testing as new features were released
Frontier was struggling to understand and test all the unique paths and processes involved in searching and booking flights on their website
Solution
A small team of Brainspire consultants were engaged to evaluate the current processes and help transform Frontier’s testing practices
Selenium was selected to begin building and saving automated tests
SpecFlow and a code coverage matrix dashboard was added to enhance standards and process visualizations
In addition to facilitating the new automated QA environment and processes, Brainspire was writing and completing automated tests to improve the velocity for code cleanup and new feature releases
Brainspire further assisted by training their current manual testers on the new automated tools and processes
Benefits
Within eight months, Frontier’s own staff had the ability to write and run automated tests for new development and code refactoring on their website
Frontiers development and QA teams now have complete visualizations to see the complexity of the website, how it operates, what has been tested and what needs to be tested
Regression testing is now automated, allowing newly developed features to be tested and deployed quickly with confidence
