Otomate, an innovative startup, is redefining eCommerce with its cutting-edge PIM management platform.

Although a young company, Otomate aims to revolutionize the way resellers, brands, and online shops manage their assets and products.

Developing a unified content management platform presented Otomate with the need for a flexible test automation tool.

Otomate was creating a web content management platform to centrally manage various online platforms, targeting businesses of all sizes.

They required a comprehensive test automation solution to identify bugs, streamline testing, and accelerate product development. Moreover, the tool needed to be user-friendly for both testers and managers who required real-time updates on product progress and features.

Otomate used DogQ to automate essential tests across their platform, achieving 90% functionality coverage and enhancing team collaboration.

The Otomate team, which includes 2 QA engineers, 4 software developers, and a project manager, employed DogQ to individually test each feature and integration. This was followed by an assessment of the overall performance of the PIM platform.

Using DogQ, Otomate automated all types of tests including regression, end-to-end, and UI.

Otomate achieved all testing objectives, with the following key features of DogQ highlighted:

• User-friendly with a wide range of automation scenarios and fast test creation.
• Suitable for both QA and non-technical specialists.
• Slack notifications for test results.
• Test scheduling and structuring for pre-deployment builds.
• Sequential regression testing to reduce human errors.
• AI computer vision for verifying text element accuracy.

Otomate significantly improved their platform’s performance and quality by reducing errors by 90% and accelerating their development process by 35% with DogQ.

The Otomate team implemented the DogQ automation tool in the later stages of their content management system’s development and observed significant benefits:

• 90% decrease in human errors, enhancing the quality of regression testing.
• 35% accelerationin the development process, requiring fewer resources at each stage.
• Improved media content handling based on insights from the testing project.
• The bulk edit feature was repaired, enabling real-time editing of product cards.
• Improved search filter, aiding customers in finding product cards quickly.
• Streamlined sharing of products with online stores and resellers.

“The testing process has been improved greatly. If earlier I constantly registered around 10 bugs (we somehow had even 10+ bugs on the board) in each release, now we have them around 2-4, and the development goes much faster.

After each deployment of new features to the testing environment, 
tests are automatically launched via DogQ, we get the results via DogQ notifier
in Slack (for example, 26 tests passed – 24 passed successfully, 2 failed)
and we quickly understand if the developer’s code has broken something
that worked well for us before.

This is, of course, very convenient and reduces the time needed
for the testing of the entire CMP (content management platform)”.
