Impetus performed Silk Test for the new release of the client's employee-centric suite of applications.

Industry: Workforce Management


Technology: 24 servers with Windows 2000, and Linux as OS. Backend databases as SQL Server 8.760, Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g. XML and Silk Test for automated testing of application.


The Client: The client is the most trusted name in workforce management, offering an employee-centric application that help millions of employees perform better, managers' work smarter, and companies achieve more everyday. The solutions serve growing and enterprise companies across all industries.


The Challenge: The main challenge for this project is to propose and implement a cost-effective functional testing solution for the new release of the application while generalizing the Silk Scripts (more than 15,000 scripts).


The Solution: Impetus put together a team of six members for the maintenance of the silk scripts. A test environment was set up, which included

- 24 servers with Windows 2000, and Linux as OS
- Backend database as SQL Server 8.760 and Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g

In addition to this, Impetus proposed:


- A plan to re-structure and modularize the scripts for better understanding and maintainability. Going forward, this will make the script architecture more scalable and reliable.

- Converting the Silk Automation GUI Test to XML. This change will reduce the execution time to half, and the reliability of the result would be better as compared to the previous test plan.

The Impetus team was able to meet the schedule strictly as per the project milestones specified by the client, i.e., results of the system test plan within 6 business days.


The Benefits: Impetus has consistently delivered high quality product to the client. All major deliverables sent by Impetus got accepted in the first iteration itself.
