The Challenge

Integrations with OEM systems take coordination across multiple teams: product, project management, development, testing, QA, etc. Being able to intuitively find all of the technical and business process info in the specification and knowing how the team is progressing in their respective areas is critical for a seamless integration process.

The Solution

“It’s actually fun now to submit test cases,” says Tracy St. Amand, team lead at PBS, “Our developers love automated tool systems. It’s not like handing in an essay to a teacher – we get instant verification that what we’re doing is right.”

The Results

    • 24/7 Automatic Testing – Automatic testing is neatly organized in one place. Developers can select the relevant integration from a drop down of subscribed projects, perform relevant tests, see results, and re-do them if needed. Test status is color and icon coded, all in the same list
    • Project Insights – Intuitive dashboards take the guesswork out of the process. Users and managers know exactly where they are and what needs to be done to complete the project.
