Why us?

Prolifics’ Sterling OMS test automation suite is built around the principles of reusability, portability and extensibility:

• Robust, flexible, and extensible framework - supports test automation on diverse sets of API response, and provides validation across different sets of data
• Reduces the time and costs to design API validations
• More flexibility to manage test data and End Point API URL’s
• Test API scripts are separated from the input data store, so only the input request gets manipulated using XML objects and Excel data. No modification is needed for the test scripts
• Libraries, utilities and functions that can be reused multiple times, saving time for the entire organisation
• Consolidated Execution reports are generated for each validation
• Well-handled script exceptions are implemented to find script / configuration / Test Data failures
• Integrates with different configuration managements systems
• Detailed test execution report in HTML format
• Jenkins for scheduling and execution. Supports testing in CI / CD model

Delivery process

Prolifics is responsible for configuring the following in each client’s environment for successful installation and use of the automation suite: Test classes, Properties, Templates, API objects, and Data.

Once the suite is set up and configured for the customer, resources can then be put into maintaining and updating the suite for continued high performance.
