Cosmetics Leader Slashes Testing Efforts With API Automation

Testhouse developed an API automation framework using various tools for a Cosmetic Company in Australia. This project focused on automating public and private APIs in the application business layer, addressing complex business cases and ensuring data security and integrity. Our solutions led to 100% test coverage of core test API verifications, improved efficiency in solutions development, and better ROI through reduced testing efforts.

• Oracle NetSuite
• UI Automation
• Bifrost Framework Development
• Engagement Model: Time & Material

• Understanding Complex Business Cases: Understanding complex business cases for sections affected by MuleSoft API integration was a challenge, requiring a deep understanding of the intricacies involved.
• Adapting to System Renovation: Adapting to the internal system’s renovation and ensuring integrity, security, standardization, governance, and management through a set of contracts or protocols posed challenges.
• Designing API Call Sequences: Designing and managing potential API call sequences for integration with ownership required careful planning and execution.
• Security Validation: Validation of scenarios involving security points for authentication was critical to prevent data breaches that could expose valuable data from crucial departments.
• Updating API Testing Schema Configuration: Maintaining and updating API Testing schema configuration related to data formatting and storage of data with requests and responses throughout the testing lifecycle was necessary.

• API Integration Visualizations: Understanding and visualizing API integrations and call sequence validation ahead of developing API collections and test automation.
• Security Validation: Implementing rate limits to validate REST API security points, restricting the number of requests to enhance security.
• Efficient API Integration Strategies: Implementing API integration strategies that simplify multiple workflow processes simultaneously, bridging the gap between legacy and modern systems.
• Schema Updates: Keeping the schema updated in response to changes in the API document, including the addition of new features or updates to existing ones.

• 100% Test Coverage: Achieved 100% test coverage of all core test API verifications, ensuring comprehensive testing.
• Framework Reusability: Implemented a framework that could be periodically reviewed and adapted to support changes in product design or features, enhancing flexibility.
• Integration Workflow Reusability: Achieved reusability of integration workflows across different collections, improving the efficiency of solution development.
• Effective Call Sequencing: Handled call sequencing to check discrepancies in multi-threaded applications, ensuring smooth integration.
• Automated Security Points: Created OAuth 1.0 Signature creation logic to automate security points for authentication, enhancing security.
• Improved ROI: Improved return on investment (ROI) with reduced testing efforts through the provided automation solution, optimizing resource utilization.
