Cegeka leads Fidea to Improved quality and speed in Test and CI/CD processes through Test Automation

Our Client

Today Fidea can rely on more than 100 years of experience in insurance, both for private clients and entrepreneurs. With a wide range of insurance products, Fidea goes for quality and efficiency every day. At Fidea, optimum security, safety and assistance go hand in hand with a good price-quality ratio.

Challenges and objectives

Cegeka joined the application owner team of Fidea. Their main goal is to keep applications and domains live in production. They are responsible for three management tasks: Defect, Incident and Release Management.

Their objective was to lower the workload for the people who are doing repetitive (regression) testing and to give faster feedback to management for each new software release. At Fidea they test on three different platforms: web, desktop and mobile. The challenge here was not only to lower the workload, but also to find a test automation tool that covers a wide spread of technologies. 

Cegeka's solution

To cover all the needs of the client we proposed and implemented Ranorex as the test automation solution for Fidea. Ranorex is the perfect tool for people who want to start with test automation without the need for them to be technical wizards. An additional advantage of Ranorex is that it covers all the technologies Fidea asked for. 

To make it even more accessible, Cegeka created a custom framework in Ranorex to ensure that all the elements used in the applications are just a click away to automate. After we finalized the custom framework, we shared our knowledge and trained the internal people of Fidea, so they could independently proceed with the test automation process.

Results

After implementing the Ranorex test automation solution, bugs and anomalies are intercepted much earlier in the process than before. We did not only create automated tests on the process flow but also on the calculations of the Fidea insurance products. This ensures that, not only the overall quality of the software product is higher, but there is also a higher certainty that all the numbers and calculations are correct. 

Fidea can now release their software in production with higher confidence and certainty of quality. The test automation also results in shorter test cycles, reducing the time needed to release software. This way, their existing and new customers will always receive the correct amount for the right service in a bug free software application.
