CENTREON accelerates its Roadmap with Go&Dev's expertise in development and QA Testing

Problem :

Centreon, a recognized leader in IT supervision, aimed to maintain the excellence of its software by ensuring that each new version was free from regressions, particularly on critical functionalities. Although Centreon already had a rigorous testing process in place, the increasing complexity of the software meant that test cycles had to be optimized. Automating part of the testing process became essential to ensure faster delivery while maintaining quality.

What’s more, the documentation associated with the tests had to be constantly updated, validated and in full compliance with standards, in order to ensure full traceability of the tests carried out. Centreon wanted to further structure and automate its test campaigns, while guaranteeing the quality and accuracy of its technical documentation.

Selection criteria :

To meet these needs, Centreon chose Go&Dev for several key reasons:

• Expertise in test automation: Go&Dev has demonstrated mastery of automation tools such as Cypress and Robot Framework, guaranteeing seamless integration with Centreon ‘s internal processes and efficient test automation.

• Documentation management: Go&Dev proposed a structured process for validating test documentation, thus guaranteeing accurate and up-to-date documentation for each test campaign.

• Rapid adaptation and successful integration: Go&Dev quickly integrated itself into Centreon‘s practices, adapting its methods to meet the customer’s specific requirements. This included validating the documentation and ensuring that the testing processes corresponded perfectly to Centreon‘s expectations.

• Ongoing support and follow-up: Go&Dev offered personalized follow-up and ongoing training, ensuring that teams were fully conversant with new software versions, while keeping documentation up to date.

Solution:

Go&Dev designed a tailor-made strategy to meet Centreon ‘s needs:

• Tailor-made test strategy and documentation: Go&Dev has developed an automated test strategy tailored to Centreon‘s requirements, ensuring that each test is accompanied by validated and accurate documentation.

• Automation with Cypress and Robot Framework:

  • Cypress has made it possible to automate end-to-end testing of user interfaces, with detailed, validated documentation for each test scenario.
  • Robot Framework was used to automate integration and API testing, generating documented and validated reports.

• Creation of reusable tests and documentation: Go&Dev set up modular tests, enabling both test scenarios and documentation to be reused for future versions of the software, thus reducing the time needed to update tests.

By relying on these solutions, Go&Dev has enabled Centreon to optimize its test cycles, while guaranteeing accurate, validated, standards-compliant documentation.
