Test Automation Engineering for an Enterprise Customer Support Platform

ABOUT THE PROJECT

A centralized customer support management platform for mid-to-large enterprises. The system handles multi-channel ticket management with categorization, prioritization, and agent assignment logic, alongside a self-service knowledge base and automation features including ticket routing and templated responses.

Business Objectives

01Dramatically increase automation coverage across a React/TypeScript SPA.

02Replace outdated, fragile automated tests with a stable, maintainable framework.

03Reduce manual testing burden by automating repeatable test cycles.

04Introduce structured reporting integrated into the CI pipeline.

05Build documentation that supports long-term framework maintenance.

Process Overview

Framework Audit & Migration Assessed the existing stack, identified scalability limitations, and migrated to a TypeScript-based framework built around Cypress and Playwright.

Automation Expansion Systematically converted manual test cases to automated ones, prioritizing high-impact areas and building toward broad coverage.

CI/CD Integration Integrated test pipelines with GitHub Actions and Docker; connected Sorry Cypress for real-time reporting and result storage.

Stability Engineering Adopted strict best practices for test data management and environment configuration to eliminate brittle test behavior.

Documentation Rebuild Rewrote all test documentation covering setup, configuration, authoring standards, and framework structure.

Challenges & Solutions

Challenge 1 — Legacy test suite was fragile and uninformative Existing automated tests broke on minor application changes and provided little diagnostic value. We rebuilt the suite with proper data isolation, environment controls, and structured reporting — making failures meaningful rather than noise.

Challenge 2 — Low automation coverage created manual bottleneck The majority of test cases were executed manually. We systematically automated repeatable cycles, redirecting manual QA focus to UI, usability, localization, and compatibility — areas where human judgment adds value automation doesn't.

Technology Stack

Test Frameworks: Cypress, Playwright

Reporting: Sorry Cypress

CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Docker

Language: JavaScript, TypeScript

Defect Tracking: Jira

Result

  • 500+ tickets covered through Cypress automation
  • 100+ additional tests built in Playwright
  • 93% of all test cases fully automated
  • Faster test cycles through parallel execution and smarter test data management
  • Stable test suite maintained throughout ongoing product development

Delivery Summary

The client went from a largely manual, fragile QA setup to a 93% automated test suite with structured CI reporting and a framework built to scale. The development team gained reliable release gating and early defect detection — and stopped losing time to test failures caused by routine application changes.
