In line with the client’s plan to reach the largest audience possible, the system supports multi-screen delivery to such platforms as Android, iOS, Roku, PlayStation 3 and 4, Apple TV, Xbox, and smart TVs.

The project’s scope and duration prompted the team to introduce automation for functional and load testing.

Oxagile’s AQA engineers used their powerful in-house testing framework to automate test cases for all major features, including signup and signin scenarios, adding new content and metadata, editing content variances, PIN-pairing for TV devices, error reporting, and more. Automated tests were also run in the development code branch to enable early defect discovery.

As a result, the main flow and the acceptance flow were 100% covered with automation, dramatically minimizing regressions and freeing up manual QA engineers for exploratory testing.
