Pain:At sonata one of the project was to develop automated test solution based on the Microsoft proprietry framework Xpf. The basic scope was to re-create funcional steps through code. So every developer had toiled a lot time of writing code to automate these functional steps.
Solution:A simple idea kick started to eliminate redundant steps extended to the level of an automation tool. The automation tool could be used by the user to generate the code by opening the form and performing the desired operation. The tool reduced the development effort by close to 40% by generating them automatically.
Benefits:The tool was showcased to the top brass of Microsoft Dynamics team @ Microsoft. Also helped sonata win one of the large multi year contracts for Test developement.
