Who is Hillebrand Gori?
Hillebrand Gori is a global logistics provider specializing in the transportation of beverages including wine, beer, and spirits. With decades of industry expertise and a presence in key markets worldwide, the company supports producers, distributors, and retailers with tailored supply chain solutions.
THE CHALLENGE
Limited testing scope
Every single day, their clients place between 50 and 70 orders online. A bug in any of the applications for order handling put these transactions, and revenue, at risk. However, testing and quality assurance had become a bottleneck in the delivery of quality software at Hillebrand Gori, resulting in a lack of confidence in system validation.
A first attempt at automating tests had to be abandoned: After one year of programming, the scripts were not ready to run on a continuous basis and testing still had to be done manually. The company needed an automation solution that would let testing match the pace of development.
THE SOLUTION
Easy maintenance and usability
For her first attempt at test automation, Prachi Sakar used the open-source browser automation framework, Selenium. Selenium is code-based and for testers to use it efficiently they must rely on code examples found online.
With code-based Selenium, maintenance had become a major burden. During each sprint for every project, Sakar had to rebuild all Selenium scripts from scratch because the application under test had changed too much since the scripts were first developed.
In short, automated tests became obsolete before they were put to use, and testing slowed down the software delivery process. After a year of working with Selenium, the script for automating the team’s regression suite was still not ready, and Sakar was still relying heavily on manual testing.
THE IMPACT
Full ownership of development and QA activites
Using Leapwork’s continuous validatiom and automation Platform, alongside the help of Leapwork’s online tutorials, Sakar had built her first reusable automated test case for testing the company’s client-facing web applications in less than a month. Whenever she needed technical support to clear a roadblock, she consulted with Leapwork’s Customer Success Team, available on-demand.
In three months, she had fully automated her entire regression suite, stating: “what would have taken me two years with Selenium, took me three months with Leapwork. It’s quite an achievement.”
With Leapwork, Sakar and the team achieved the goal of continuous testing. Three days of manual testing during each sprint was reduced to 40 minutes of automated execution. Their automated regression suite is scheduled to run daily before office hours.
The team at Hillebrand Gori has plans for extending the scope of their automation. Within the next two years, they will automate the testing of more projects, including testing the integration of 15 systems.
