Summary
Key results
Regression testing reduced from 2 weeks to 1.5 days
Manual testing reduced from 100% to around 20%
Increasing system complexity and the need for test automation
Urban parking systems operate across multiple locations and integrate with parking terminals, payment systems, and network services. Every software change requires reliable and repeatable validation to maintain service stability across markets.
As the platform expanded and the number of integrations grew, the client needed to accelerate regression testing and improve its consistency. Reducing manual effort, improving QA team efficiency, and enabling automated test execution across multiple environments became key priorities.
Another objective was to better support CI/CD processes and create a reusable testing solution that could be applied across future projects and locations.
To address these challenges, the client partnered with Sii Poland – a provider delivering over 200 QA projects annually and supporting organizations in scaling test automation in complex IT environments.
Test automation framework for a complex, integrated system
Sii experts designed and implemented a comprehensive test automation solution, including framework development and integration with the client’s existing system landscape.
Scope of work included:
- Implementing a test automation framework based on Selenium, C#, and Jenkins
- Automating over 200 REST and SOAP web service tests
- Developing tests for more than 20 custom protocols, including hardware integrations and TCP
- Creating a suite of sanity tests covering approximately 3,000 web application pages
- Replacing around 300 manual test cases with automated tests
- Integrating the framework with the CI/CD pipeline and enabling execution across multiple environments
- Implementing test reporting in Allure, with automated notifications via email and Slack
As a result, QA teams were able to run automated tests both during regular test cycles and with every new application release.
Faster releases with reduced risk of defects
Test automation enabled Flowbird to reduce regression testing time to approximately 1.5 days, significantly accelerating the rollout of updates across multiple markets.
New features can now be delivered more frequently and with greater confidence that they will not impact existing services, including integrations with parking terminals and payment systems.
QA teams no longer need to focus on time-consuming manual testing, allowing them to concentrate on system development and quality improvements. At the same time, automated tests executed with every change provide continuous quality control and faster defect detection.
As a result, the platform operates more reliably, and the risk of disruptions after deployments has been significantly reduced – directly supporting the continuity of services in cities using the Flowbird solution.
