Cashify's Requirements:

• Substantial enhancement of code coverage across 100+ micro-services to minimize production defects.

• Streamline and optimize automation processes to increase efficiency and reliability in API testing.

• Implement robust testing solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing CI pipelines and require minimal maintenance.

Challenge:

Cashify, a leader in the resale of electronic gadgets, managed a complex technology stack that included over 100 services and APIs. Previously relying on semi-automated tools like RestAssured and Postman, Cashify faced challenges with these tools' ability to provide adequate test coverage and speed, leading to operational inefficiencies and vulnerabilities.

• Critical bugs frequently slipped through tests, leading to financial discrepancies and user dissatisfaction.

• Manual testing processes were slow and often missed capturing bugs in timely updates, causing delays in deployment.

• Previous tools provided insufficient coverage, allowing vulnerabilities to persist and disrupt operations.

Solution:

To tackle these challenges, Cashify implemented HyperTest, a cutting-edge automation tool designed to enhance testing capabilities without the need for extensive manual intervention.

• By integrating HyperTest into their CI pipeline, Cashify achieved comprehensive and automated code coverage of up to 95%, drastically reducing the incidence of critical bugs reaching production environments.

• The tool facilitated rapid and efficient API testing, cutting down the testing duration significantly, which allowed for quicker feedback and iterations.

• HyperTest's no-code regression testing capabilities enabled Cashify to automatically generate and run tests based on real user interactions, ensuring that new updates were thoroughly vetted before deployment. This approach not only improved operational efficiency but also enhanced the reliability and security of the Cashify platform.
