Case Study: Identity Management Software Company Increases Android App Test Automation with Tessana

Company Overview

A leading identity and access management provider, with solutions to help organizations secure and manage user authentication seamlessly. As part of its expansion from B2B into consumer-facing products, the company launched a personal identity suite across web, iOS and Android platforms. 

The Challenge

Android app testing was performed manually on an ad hoc basis, which led to:

• Bugs and regressions slipping into production

• Slower development cycles due to reactive bug fixes

• Reduced confidence in release stability

This issue had already caused production incidents, highlighting the need to enhance QA testing with a robust solution.

Background

• The new Consumer product suite had just launched on web, iOS, and Android.

• The iOS team had dedicated QA resources to build a full automation suite.

• The Android team lacked bandwidth and tooling for test automation, and relied on manual testing.

The team needed a way to quickly build reliable test coverage for Android to reduce risk in the release process. 

The Problem

With manual, sporadic testing:

1. Bugs were escaping into production.

2. Regression issues slowed down releases.

3. The Android team lagged behind iOS in test coverage and confidence. 

The team needed a fast, low-lift way to expand Android test coverage, without the resources required to build traditional QA testing capacity. 

The Tessana Solution

Tessana stepped in with its AI-powered testing platform to:

• Ingest existing manual test case lists

• Craft executable, natural-language test steps

• Generate validated automation code

• Integrate tests into the client's CI/CD pipeline

  
  

Key Tessana features leveraged:

• Natural-language processing to formalize test steps

• AI-driven code generation to create Android tests

• Automated validation and version control integration

  
  

Implementation Steps

1. Test Case Ingestion
   Tessana imported the client's manual test scenarios into the platform.

2. Scenario Generation Tessana’s platform generates a complete test plan with comprehensive coverage and detailed test steps in natural language

3. Natural-Language Refinement
   Tessana’s collaborated with the team to polish test steps and ensure alignment with objectives

4. AI-Driven Code Generation
   Tessana’s agent transformed refined steps into Android validated test scripts.

5. CI/CD Integration
   Automated tests were validated, versioned, and hooked into existing pipelines.

6. Self-Healing Test Maintenance
   Tessana’s self-fix capabilities continuously update automated tests as Android UI evolves. Detailed reports make it easy for teams to debug when a test fails. 

   
   

Results & Impact

• Achieved parity with iOS test coverage on Android in just 3 weeks with a part-time resource.

• Drastically cut regression incidents and accelerated Android release cycles.

• Delivered automation with minimal resource investment

  
  

This collaboration between emonstrates how AI-driven test automation can reduce dependence on manual testing, accelerate achieving development parity between platforms, and create more confidence in product releases.
