Pyramid’s Selenium Solution

Overview

Interest in test automation utilizing the Selenium tool suite has grown substantially over the past several years for a number of reasons including:

• Selenium is an open-source solution, so there are no license costs • It is more developer friendly (C#, Java) • Selenium handles multiple browsers more easily • It supported AJAX components long before licensed tools did

However, Selenium has some significant shortcomings that need to be addressed in order to make it an efficient enterprise solution. Pyramid’s Selenium Solution addresses all of these shortcomings with a unique automation framework that allows an organization to take advantage of the cost savings of an open-source tool while still providing the experience of a licensed tool.

Business Challenges

Businesses are continually challenged with finding solutions that are affordable, effective and scalable to meet their needs. Many enterprises have shifted to open-source tools to save money only to discover that there can be hidden costs with open-source solutions. Without the proper investment in the open-source automation framework, an organization can be left with a solution that is too expensive, taking too many technical resources to create and maintain scripts, or too limited, not producing the required ROI or integrating with their current tool environment.

Pyramid has made that investment for you, delivering a licensed tool experience at an open-source cost. Every component of Pyramid’s custom framework is designed to be utilized by typical test automation resources, not developers. In addition, the framework can be integrated into your current tool environment to leverage all of your current tool and reporting infrastructure.

Receive a proof of concept in 5-10 days

Pyramid understands that validation is a critical component in the innovation process. Our low-cost proof of concept (POC) confirms the feasibility of testing automation to prospective testing clients. This POC includes automating a limited number of manual test cases to prove value and scalability.

The POC for one of our existing clients involved two of their most complex test cases, each taking half an hour to run manually. By automating the test scripts, we reduced the testing time to two minutes and were able to reuse the scripts for future testing cycles. These savings can result in rapid ROI delivering hard-dollar contributions to IT operations.
