The Challenge
A large online casino operator faced significant challenges in maintaining consistent quality across their diverse gaming platforms. With a portfolio spanning web, mobile, and desktop applications, each offering hundreds of games, the company struggled with:
1. Time-consuming manual testing processes
2. Inconsistent user experiences across different platforms
3. Difficulty in replicating complex betting scenarios
4. Slow release cycles due to extensive regression testing
5. High costs associated with maintaining separate test suites for each platform
The casino needed a robust automation solution that could work across all platforms, handle dynamic content, and adapt to frequent UI changes without constant script maintenance. Additionally, they required a system that could simulate real user interactions to ensure the authenticity of the gaming experience.
The Solution:
AskUI’s Cross-Platform Visual Testing
After evaluating several options, the online casino implemented AskUI’s innovative visual testing solution. Key components of the implementation included:• Platform-Agnostic Testing: Utilizing AskUI’s Vision Agents and their versatile API, the casino developed a single set of tests that worked across web, mobile, and desktop platforms, significantly reducing test maintenance efforts.
• AI-Powered Element Detection: AskUI’s neural network accurately identified UI elements based on visual appearance, allowing tests to remain stable despite frequent UI updates and dynamic content changes.
• Natural Language Test Scripts: The intuitive “UI language” approach of AskUI enabled both technical and non-technical team members to create and maintain test scripts, fostering collaboration between QA and development teams.• Real User Interaction Simulation: AskUI’s ability to execute tests at the OS level ensured that all interactions closely mimicked real user behavior, providing more reliable test results.
• Visual Regression Testing: The AI model detected subtle visual discrepancies, ensuring consistent branding and user experience across all platforms.Impact: Enhanced Quality Assurance and Faster Time-to-Market
• 95% Test Automation Coverage: The casino achieved comprehensive test coverage across all platforms, significantly reducing the need for manual testing.
• 60% Reduction in Test Maintenance Time: The platform-agnostic approach and AI-powered element detection drastically reduced the time spent on updating test scripts.
• 40% Faster Release Cycles: Automated cross-platform testing allowed for quicker validation of new features and updates.• Improved Game Quality:
The ability to simulate complex betting scenarios and user interactions led to better detection of edge cases and potential issues.• Enhanced Regulatory Compliance: Comprehensive testing helped ensure adherence to strict gaming regulations across different jurisdictions.
