The challenge
SPH Media is the leading mainstream media company in Singapore with media solutions in print, digital, radio and outdoor. Although SPH Media was already using an intelligent test automation tool that promised a codeless, AI-powered approach, the product’s capabilities could not be fully realized. It needed a technology partner to help address challenges with manual testing, limited resources for regression coverage and automating multilingual applications.
Cognizant’s capabilities in digital, automation and innovation, as well as a detailed project plan and the ability to meet SPH Media’s requirements and timeline, convinced the company to choose us for the engagement.
Our approach
Cognizant’s quality engineering and assurance consultants performed a discovery assessment on SPH Media’s original automation testing framework, which supported a few disparate applications. We finalized the end-to-end automation framework, aligning the test team with the agile development team to ensure completed scripts are run on the SPH Media's test environment before the hand-over.
Our consultants combined two different automation frameworks to synergize the efficiency of automating the test cases. The existing TOSCA 14.2 Vision AI was used to automate web-based testing, API and multilingual test cases, wherever possible, as it has a self-healing capability and reduced script maintenance requirements. The Cognizant UAF framework was used to automate all mobile applications, mobile browsers, audio, video and Mac Safari web test cases.
Based on the new enhanced framework, we delivered this program in a fully offshore delivery model using a hybrid test infrastructure with devices on cloud and on premises.
