The approach that we adopted in the initial months of the 5-year-long partnership played a pivotal role in setting the tone and expectations for the entire relationship. From the outset, this approach, marked by meticulous planning, collaboration, and unwavering commitment, has strengthened our collaboration, optimizing the utilization of each other’s strengths and thereby enhancing the likelihood of success for the diverse projects entrusted to us.

Projects briefed

Functionality Testing of Shopify App.

Software Testers from Testvox tested E-commerce websites and supporting APP for Storilabs amidst the implementation of E-commerce solutions for Shopify by Storilabs.

Storilabs embarked on a mission to enhance their Shopify App, “Subscription,” which plays a vital role in managing online business portals for various clients registered with Shopify. This project posed a significant challenge: ensuring the seamless functioning of these websites for e-commerce transactions. Our meticulous testing services proved indispensable. Our Software Testers rigorously tested the app, detecting a wide array of bugs and provided proper guidance to software developers from Storilabs on a variety of ways to recreate each of the bugs identified. Their prompt identification allowed Storilabs’ developers to swiftly rectify these issues. Additionally, our assistance in selecting website themes tailored to each client’s unique requirements helped in delivering a comprehensive solution.

Storilabs finally obtained approval from Shopify for their “Subscription” app, which is now widely used for online transactions, delivering an exemplary and wonderful online shopping experience while ensuring the security of customer data.

Automating E-Commerce Application Testing.

Storilabs wanted a solution to speed up their whole release cycle in addition to the solution that they needed to speed up their QA cycle.

Storilabs faced a common challenge in software development – the need for swift and effective regression testing. We proposed a solution: automating frequently executed test cases for every release. The results were remarkable, reducing regression testing time from days to mere hours.

Integrating automated scripts into the development pipeline further expedited the release cycle. The existing functionalities or features could be tested at the software development phase itself in the pipeline without any intervention from the software testers and the bugs found could be immediately reported.

The software developers will get an intimation and can rectify all the issues identified before the release regarding a new feature or a feature/functionality update is made. Thus, before the software application goes into the hands of the QA personnel with the new release, regression testing occurs on the existing functionalities and features and the bugs identified get rectified by the software developers soon without waiting for the QA cycle.

By eliminating bottlenecks in quality assurance, We enabled Storilabs to deliver updates and new features more swiftly, enhancing user satisfaction.

B2B E-commerce Application Testing 

The STORIMART ecosystem encompasses multiple web and mobile applications, each fulfilling distinct functions and tailored to specific regions.

STORIMART, Storilabs’ B2B ordering platform, presented unique complexities. Being a newcomer in the B2B market, STORILABS had to distinguish itself amidst well-established competitors. Storimart’s various interconnected applications and customized versions required comprehensive testing. An important challenge was the absence of documentation describing the application’s functionalities and numerous facilities and options.

We provided experienced QA professionals specialized in testing B2B applications, eliminating the need for Storilabs to build an in-house QA team. Our team created tailored test plans, strategies, and methodologies  tailored to STORIMART’s requirements. They worked closely with Storilabs’ business analysts and developers to ensure clarity and comprehensive coverage.

Furthermore, market analysis and competitor benchmarking carried out by our experience B2B Software Testers empowered STORIMART. Storilabs gained insights into market trends on B2B transactions, enabling them to refine their product’s features and marketing strategy for better competitiveness. Our role as a bridge between sales, development, and testing teams ensured successful feature implementation.

The act of documenting all functionalities and features within the application, including test cases and procedures greatly improved the organization of testing efforts, resulting in enhanced communication and understanding among the teams involved.
