    Pickert & Partner, a leading provider of certified quality management solutions, faced a common challenge in software development: the need for efficient and effective UI test automation.

    The engagement

    What was automated, and what it returned.

    Drag-and-drop and colour validation could only be checked by a person, which tied up developers in QA work and slowed the delivery of the quality system itself.

    The company

    Who this is about.

    Pickert & Partner provides certified quality management software to manufacturers, with a zero-defect philosophy: their product exists so their customers' factories catch problems before they ship. Software that polices quality has to hold itself to the standard it enforces.

    Their testers know the product deeply but are not programmers, so selector-based automation kept the delivery bottleneck in place: every check on drag-and-drop behaviour or colour rendering still needed a developer. The tooling had to move testing to the people who actually do it.

    The Challenge

    Pickert & Partner, a leading provider of certified quality management solutions, faced a common challenge in software development: the need for efficient and effective UI test automation. However, they wanted a solution that went beyond traditional selector-based tools, which often is complex and time-consuming to maintain, especially for testers with limited programming experience.

    Their ideal tool needed to support sophisticated UI interactions like drag-and-drop and color verification, provide clear and accessible test reporting, and offer a cost-effective, cloud-based solution.

    The Solution

    After evaluating various options, Pickert & Partner chose AskUI to address their UI testing needs. Several key factors contributed to this decision:

    • User-Friendly Interface and Fluent API: AskUI's intuitive design and natural language-like API helps testers of all skill levels to create and maintain test scripts with ease.
    • Visual Identification of UI Elements: AskUI's intelligent localization algorithms identify UI elements based on their visual properties, eliminating the need for specific code selectors.
    • Support for Complex Interactions: AskUI handles drag-and-drop actions and color verification with ease, crucial for testing Pickert & Partner's web application.
    • Cost Efficiency: By leveraging AskUI's cloud-based solution and streamlined approach, Pickert & Partner achieved significant cost savings compared to maintaining a local testing infrastructure.
