Bestseller Ramps Up With Test Automation in Record Time

Challenge

Bestseller is a clothing and accessories company with 20 fashion brands, including Jack & Jones, Selected, Vero Moda, and ONLY. They manage nearly 9,000 shops worldwide, along with their e-commerce store.

In their previous testing approach, Bestseller faced significant challenges. Testing was mostly done manually, which was slow and costly. Bestseller made various attempts with test automation, but it didn't yield the desired results.

The main test automation challenges included:

• The test automation tool was complex and unable to test machines or offline agents, so it couldn't test the POS system and validate the quality of the product at stores.
• The test automation tool lacked the capability to test offline systems and devices, hindering the ability to thoroughly validate the system's performance in real-world scenarios.
• The reliance on a single person to maintain and manage the test automation tool posed a risk to the project's stability and continuity, especially in the event of the individual's departure or reduced availability.

Impact

Despite being a new Leapwork customer, Bestseller has already experienced several positive outcomes.

The team built 110 test cases, 120 common subflows, and 15 integrations within three months. Five functional users are now utilizing Leapwork, with plans to expand testing to e-commerce and POS.

In essence, Leapwork’s visual platform enabled Bestseller to democratize testing. Through simple visual language and reusable elements or subflows, Bestseller’s functional users can easily perform and maintain testing, reducing the reliance on technical resources and streamlining the automation process.
