Testspring

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the global head of 4PL deployment for a transport and logistics company. I’m responsible to deploy all the software related to our 4PL activities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Testspring?

We wanted to increase the quality of our deliveries. We didn’t have a testing framework. Every test was done manually. We wanted to create an automated testing system.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They laid down a complete automated best framework for us with very simple to use test scripts. They used a Selenium framework. On top of that, they wrote their own framework that better suit our application. They also helped us with configuration and trained our new consultants. They did the training and helped with configuration where needed on the different projects.

What is the team composition?

We’re working with a team of 10 people. 

How did you come to work with Testspring?

I’d worked closely with Habib (CEO) previously. When we needed extra resources, we went to them and asked if they could help us out.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about €250,000 (approximately $303,027 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in October 2018, and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Our testing process went from taking three weeks to taking less than one week for each release. In terms of projects, they have run a couple of projects on their own. We normally do 10 projects every year. Out of the 10, they did three of them by themselves, and the others were involved with one or two resources.

How did Testspring perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management was done by another team. Communication with them, however, is brilliant. I think they outperform our internal teams. Their team introduced us to a new Oracle application that we now use for project management. We used Azure DevOps for all the testing.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Everything that they did was a big help. The training they did for all the new consultants was also great. Within a month, the new consultants were able to do at least light configuration tasks.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they did everything as we requested, and they even went beyond the scope.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Treat them as one of your own employees. The more they know, the better they can help you out.
