About the Project

Appspace is a leading provider of workplace experience and digital signage solutions, helping businesses engage employees and customers across diverse industries. Their software platform is a critical part of enterprise communication, meaning that software reliability and performance are non-negotiable.

However, as Appspace continued to expand its feature set and platform complexity, maintaining consistent software quality became an increasing challenge. The company needed a robust, scalable test automation framework that could support its web, mobile web, and web-native platforms, enabling faster feature releases without sacrificing quality or increasing manual testing efforts.

Spiral Scout partnered with Appspace to design and implement a test automation framework that could streamline regression testing, accelerate deployment cycles, and reduce QA bottlenecks, allowing the Appspace team to ship updates with greater confidence and speed.

Objectives

Develop a scalable automated testing framework to improve efficiency in the software development lifecycle.
Ensure comprehensive test coverage across Appspace’s web, mobile web, and web-native platforms.
Integrate automation testing seamlessly into the company’s CI/CD pipeline to accelerate releases.
Improve test scenario creation and execution efficiency, ensuring high test accuracy.

Challenges

Ensuring Full Test Coverage Across Multiple Platforms

Appspace’s software ecosystem operates across web, mobile web, and native applications, requiring a test automation framework that could handle cross-platform testing efficiently. Without a unified solution, testing inconsistencies and delays in regression cycles were a major challenge.

Solutions

Robust Automated Testing Framework

To address this, Spiral Scout used CodeceptJS and Appium, integrating them with BrowserStack to enable comprehensive, cross-platform test execution. This solution ensured that all software features were tested across devices and browsers, reducing platform-specific issues before deployment.

Challenges

Building a Scalable Automation Framework

With new features being released regularly, Appspace needed an automation system that could evolve alongside its platform. A rigid or fragmented testing setup would have slowed down adoption and reduced efficiency.

Solutions

Flexible Text Framework

To solve this, we developed a flexible test automation architecture, ensuring test scripts could be easily extended as new features were introduced. We also designed a centralized test configurator, making it easier to define, modify, and execute test cases at scale.

OUR Project strategy

Overview of the critical steps that shaped the project’s quality assurance success and addressed its key testing challenges.

Assembling a Dedicated QA Automation Team

We put together a specialized team consisting of a QA architect and two experienced automation engineers, making sure that the project had the right expertise from the start.

Establishing Core Testing Principles

We laid the foundation for scalable and maintainable automation testing, focusing on test stability, execution speed, and seamless integration within Appspace’s development workflow.

Developing a Custom Test Automation Framework

We designed an automation framework that could support a variety of testing needs, including functional testing, regression testing, and UI validation across platforms.

Project results

By implementing an advanced test automation framework, Appspace drastically improved the speed and reliability of its software development lifecycle. With automated testing now embedded within its CI/CD pipeline, the team can release new features with greater confidence, knowing that every build undergoes rigorous, automated validation.

This transformation has enabled faster time to market, reduced operational costs, and improved overall software quality, positioning Appspace as a stronger competitor in the enterprise software space.
