Problem Statement

A leading retail banking software provider relied on a waterfall SDLC, dedicated hardware, and manual testing, resulting in costly upfront investments, extended release cycles, and limited agility. The client aimed to reduce time-to-market and operational costs by adopting an agile SDLC with a cloud-based, containerized architecture on RedHat OpenShift and Microsoft Azure.

Solution

Elyxor designed and implemented a scalable solution using the Elyxor Test Automation Platform (ETAP) and a comprehensive CI/CD pipeline to modernize their delivery process. The project was completed in just eight weeks and included functional and performance test automation, elastic scaling, and dashboard development.

Results

• Digital Agility: Faster delivery of new features, measured deployment success with A/B testing, and analytics.

• Continuous Delivery: Improved release quality, reduced timeline risks, and increased automation.

• Elastic Scale: Lowered infrastructure costs and supported dynamic scaling to handle customer loads.

Key Deliverables

• Functional Test Automation:

  • Integrated ETAP to streamline test case development and management.

  • Leveraged Selenium for UI and headless browser automation.

  • Externalized test data in JSON and managed test execution/reporting via TestRail.

• CI/CD Pipelines:

  • Built Jenkins-based pipelines for automated deployment and testing in OpenShift.

  • Streamlined workflows for continuous integration and continuous testing.

• Performance Test Automation:

  • Simulated elastic scaling with JMeter and Blazemeter to validate OpenShift's auto-scaling capabilities.

• Dashboard Development:

  • Created a Python-based dashboard deployed on OpenShift for real-time project visibility.
