Avianca is the second oldest airline in the world, with 1,300 destinations in 192 countries on five continents thanks to its fleet of 172 short -, medium- and long-range aircraft. It has a team of more than 21,000 employees, who have received various acknowledgments, the most recent being the recognition granted given by APEX, Airline Passenger Experience, in 2018, to Best Regional Airline in South America. In this way, Avianca continues in its process of innovation and better service, where GREENSQA plays a very important role as a provider of software quality testing.
GREENSQA pioneered the introduction of the Visual Studio App Center mobile test engine into the aeronautic industry.
At GREENSQA we understand the scope of the project, which is why we have used all of our expertise and experience in providing testing services for the transportation sector. In this project different flows and scenarios were defined in order to make a test with high coverage because our goal is to reach 100%, we also continue in the process of including more flows and automatic scenarios within the automatic testing framework, as a result of our intervention, we have 88 mobile applications.
“Jarvis Xamarin” is the name of the project that was implemented and migrated completely to the new Visual Studio App Center platform that Microsoft launched at the end of 2017. Through a request made by our client Avianca; GREENSQA Gold Partner of Microsoft, reaffirmed through a proof of concept that the Visual Studio App Center platform, would generate value by shortening the development and testing cycles, in this way Avianca becomes the first client of Visual Studio App Center and GREENSQA is constituted as the pioneer testing company to incorporate the mobile testing engine with Visual Studio App Center in the aeronautical industry.
Avianca has a digital transformation vision of its business towards 2020 that requires counting on the best human talent and technology in order to generate an exceptional experience, and to continue being the preferred Latin America airline in the world. Therefore, the quality team established and concretized the following purposes:
In order to integrate the QA methodology into de DEvOps process for the Jarvis Xamarin Project, good practices were established for the project development, promoting a cultural change in which the Developer, Tester, and Environment Administrator roles are unified towards the same corporate goal. This change, along with the implementation of appropriate environments that allow the integration, delivery, and continuous software development, which has introduced a disruptive innovation in the development lifecycle since implementations are achieved faster, at a lower cost, and with higher quality. Next, the DevOps mechanics implemented for mobile applications:
By achieving continuous integration, the software release is accelerated by using the VSTS and APP Center platforms that allow different actors to be integrated, running within CI the unit tests built by the development factory; and for continuous delivery the packaged App are delivered in the App Center´s private release channels to be validated by the automatic battery test, which ensures the App operation in different combinatorial testing; the same process is being implemented for the Web front with the BrowserStack tools.
In this project, the following work fronts were involved and supported:
Automations
Test Scenarios
Non-conformities
