Hillebrand Gori Fully Automates Testing of Web Apps

Challenge

Hillebrand Gori provides logistics services for beverage and spirits companies across the world. Every 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. Testing had become a bottleneck in the delivery of quality software at Hillebrand Gori.

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.

Impact

Using the Leapwork Automation Platform and with the help of Leapwork’s online tutorials, in less than a month, Sakar had built her first reusable automated test case for testing the company’s client-facing web applications. 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. “What would have taken me two years with Selenium, took me three months with Leapwork. It’s quite an achievement,” Sakar said.

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.
