Problem Statement

Darvis, a company with a complex microservices architecture, faced challenges in ensuring seamless application releases. Tight coupling over a message queue framework and reliance on manual testing led to frequent breakages and inefficiencies. This slowed development cycles and required significant overhead for developers and QA teams.

Solution

Elyxor implemented the Elyxor Test Automation Platform (ETAP) to address Darvis’s challenges by automating integration testing and embedding it into their CI/CD pipeline. This ensured early detection of issues and eliminated manual testing overhead.

Key Features of the Solution

• ETAP Framework Integration:

  • Supported test suites in Java, Python, Cypress, and .NET.

  • Integrated with test and defect management tools via APIs.

  • Enhanced configuration using Testcontainers for isolated test environments.
    
    

• Customized Testing Framework for Darvis:

  • Built a Git project to store integration tests and Docker configurations.

  • Developed a CI/CD pipeline for automated test execution on Darvis's test server.

  • Used Docker Compose with dynamically generated override files for container management.

  • Configured ETAP for seamless application launch, testing, and reporting.

Results

• Reduced risk from code changes and new features.

• Eliminated manual testing activities, increasing productivity.

• Stabilized automated deployments.

• Decreased time spent in QA cycles, enabling faster time to market.

• Boosted engineering velocity and customer satisfaction through improved reliability.
