The problem
Multiple validation tests were run on a multinational manufacturer's production line. The company needed to automate those tests and have a way to manage them.
What was agreed
- Prioritized scope
- The project covered creating a web dashboard for the production line, with two jobs: automating the multiple validation tests run on the line and managing those tests.
What was delivered
The people who handle the line's validation tests have a single web dashboard to automate and manage them.
Who it’s for
The dashboard was built for a multinational manufacturer.
How it works
Automating a test means having the system carry out its execution. It is in the dashboard, a web application, that the tests are automated and managed.
The technology, in plain words
- Python: a general-purpose programming language, easy to read and widely used for automation, data analysis and web systems; in this project, it is the language the dashboard was written in.
- Django: a web framework written in Python that comes with common parts of a web system, such as database access and an admin area; it was the dashboard’s base.
How it went
Assessment
At the start
An initial conversation to understand the client's request and problem.
Discovery Sprint
Before building
The problem was understood and the scope defined.
Development
Between 2018 and 2019
Built in incremental releases throughout the project, not all at the end.
Support and continuous improvement
After going live
The dashboard then moved into support and maintenance.
