About the Project

Business Challenges

We designed a comprehensive API testing framework that supports both manual and automated testing, ensuring robust and efficient testing practices for reliable API performance.

Integration of Testing with Development Pipelines

The absence of a testing framework hindered the ability to effectively integrate test cases into Hanes' development pipelines. To address this, the goal was to innovate a framework that could seamlessly incorporate nightly builds and environment-specific features, allowing for smooth deployment and reducing potential errors during production. This integration was crucial for enhancing collaboration between development and QA teams.

Business Solutions

We replaced the legacy testing framework with Pactum.Js, enhancing the speed and accuracy of API automation testing for improved performance.

Results

The development and deployment of an in-house API testing framework at Hanes was a significant milestone that enhanced synergies between developers and testers. This new approach allowed for end-to-end API testing directly in the developers’ local environments, diminishing the dependency on external platforms such as Jenkins and boosting flexibility in the development process.This innovation led to quicker detection and fixing of issues, thanks to faster feedback cycles. It contributed to greater efficacy in nightly builds and in creating feature-specific environments, ensuring more focused and reliable testing. The key advantage of this framework was its capacity to minimize reliance on external resources, thus creating a more autonomous and efficient development ecosystem.Sprint Synergy’s commitment to continuous refinement has not only streamlined Hanes testing and deployment procedures but has also established a solid groundwork for future technological advancements within the active lifestyle sector and beyond.
