Challenge

The Spacewell products iX-Haus and iX-Haus plus enable the management of real estate during use. This requires a test case management tool that meets the following requirements:

  1. Adherence to high security standards, including those of the banking and insurance industry (IDW-PS-880).
  2. Control of test automation based on comprehensive test management.
  3. Improvement of efficiency and quality in test execution.

Solution

  1. Implementation of the module “Test Management” including a 4-fold validation of the test scenarios through automated testing.
  2. Ensuring compliance with the high regulatory requirements (IDW-PS-880), including traceability of project history.
  3. Ensuring consistent data and effective test control with individual connection to automation agent (Ranorex).
  4. Implementation of an early warning system for failed test cases by setting up automated emails.

Result

The certification according to IDW-PS-880 by the external audit ran absolutely smoothly. During the inspection not only the test is checked, but also the development and the test process. Thanks to the tracability ensured by aqua, the complete test procedure could be documented and traced in a sustainable manner.
A more effective project management of the test case data is now also possible – as well as agile team collaboration by exchanging the relevant test data. The assured high quality of its own software has become a decisive sales argument and competitive advantage for Spacewell Germany.

Challenge

  1. Standardization of the tool landscape for test management.
  2. Migration of the extensive software projects from the HP (Micro Focus) Quality Center into an agile and sustainable testing solution.
  3. Replace the internal test management solution based on IBM Notes.

Solution

  1. Development of an own migration tool which reads all data from the Quality Center, converts it into a suitable form and writes it to aqua.
  2. Thanks to special methods, the file history of each element is preserved and thus ensures revision security throughout the migration.
  3. Ensuring the complete project history in the “Test executions” and “Results” areas for at least ten years fulfilled.

Result

The aqua migration tool has proven itself in the enormous size of this project and can therefore also be used in the future for migrations from the Quality Center to aqua of any size. The migration of the production environment could take place in live operation, which meant that no downtimes were necessary. The most important test data of by far the largest project could be migrated to aqua in less than 2 days.

Product Owner Testing Tools

"I was impressed by the fact that such a large project with data transfer ran relatively more smoothly than a version upgrade of the Quality Center with project migration. We are happy to have chosen aqua."

Challenge

RKU.IT is a leading service provider for the utilities industry, providing its customers with IT operations and developing individual application solutions. A new expert tool for test management was needed.

  1. Compliance with regulatory requirements (MaKo2020)
  2. Option of seamless integration of own software (Omnitracker)
  3. Control of complex test data of different customer projects in one application
  4. Transparency over the complete test coverage (incl. positive test execution)

Solution

  1. Agile integration of aqua in all external customer projects
  2. Implementation of the modular element “test case management” incl. sample template for test case catalogs, which can be used for all customer projects as well as individually
  3. Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements (MaKo 2020) through traceability of the project history ensured
  4. A bidirectional interface for integrating the Omnitracker ensures consistent data and effective project management.

Result

Compliance with the regulatory requirements is verifiably ensured. In addition, RKU.IT benefits from more effective project management for the test case data of its customer projects. aqua also enables agile customer collaboration by the exchange of test data. This makes the test management software indispensable for the customer and for rku.it as a service provider.
All in all, aqua has enabled an unexpected transparency of the test status and scope, as positive test results are also documented. This increases the quality of case processing!
