Business Challenges
As GreyTip expanded, its quality assurance process became increasingly fragmented and challenging. We gave a demo in June 2023 to him. Their organization was using another open-source test management tool Test Link. He found that Testlink has pain points and to overcome this, he presented QA Touch to his Manager fellow QA Leads, and the team. We had a couple of calls with their other QA Leads. They have given feedback and requested the migration utility from Testlink to QA Touch as well as the Selenium automation integration with our QA Touch.
- Manual effort to sync test cases, defects, and user stories between QA and development teams.
- Lack of real-time tracking and transparency into test execution and defect status.
- Disconnected tools leading to duplicated effort and slower issue resolution.
- Difficulty in monitoring quality metrics across sprints to improve release predictability.
The company needed a unified test management platform that could integrate smoothly with Jira, its primary project management tool, to align teams and accelerate delivery.
QA Touch JIRA Integration Solution
GreyTip adopted QA Touch as its centralized test management solution to harmonize its QA operations, taking full advantage of QA Touch’s powerful Jira integration.
Automated Jira Sync
- Test cases, defects, and user stories were automatically synchronized between QA Touch and Jira, eliminating manual data entry and preventing inconsistencies.
- Real-time bi-directional updates ensured teams were always working with the latest information.
Centralized Testing Hub
- QA Touch centralized all test artifacts and execution results, simplifying access and collaboration between QA and development teams.
- Features like AI-assisted test case creation helped speed up test authoring.
Improved Visibility and Collaboration
- Role-based dashboards and custom reports delivered real-time insights into quality progress and blocker status.
- Teams could communicate seamlessly across QA Touch and Jira, reducing miscommunication and accelerating defect resolution.
Streamlined Release Cadence
With better data synchronization and visibility, GreyTip significantly reduced manual overhead, enabling faster test cycles and more predictable software releases.
QA Touch and Selenium Integration
GreyTip uses QA Touch in combination with Selenium automation to streamline and enhance their test management and execution processes. Here’s how they use them together:
- GreyTip writes automated test scripts using Selenium WebDriver (often with Java and TestNG or BDD frameworks like Cucumber).
- QA Touch provides API endpoints that allow test automation results from Selenium executions to sync directly to QA Touch. This means automated test status (pass/fail), logs, and screenshots can be uploaded automatically to the test management system.
- By connecting Selenium test runs with QA Touch test cases via Test Case IDs, GreyTip maintains a single source of truth where manual and automated testing results coexist.
- This integration helps improve traceability of automation results, reduces manual reporting, and speeds up feedback cycles.
- Syncing Selenium results with QA Touch also opens up better real-time dashboards, reporting, and historical tracking of automation outcomes.
- GreyTip uses QA Touch for its centralized test management needs for both system testing as well as Selenium test automation test results.
In short, GreyTip leverages the QA Touch + Selenium integration to achieve efficient, automated test management with enhanced visibility and collaboration across its QA teams.
Results
- Reduced manual data syncing effort by over 60%, freeing up time for strategic QA activities.
- Improved collaboration and communication via Jira integration, bridging the gap between QA and development teams.
- Enhanced transparency with near real-time dashboards and quality reports for all stakeholders
