Project Description

Architected a massive project to migrate from SilkTest Classic code to AscentialTest zee code.

A Retail Industry application on Order Management System was previously developed in Silktest classic which had around 2300 testcases with 22 modules and 22 different projects was migrated and integrated to AscentialTest into a single module project.


Now we have our entire regression suite running in AscentialTest.

Execution Time reduced from 10 days to 3 days with removal of manual interruption and delays w.r.t database.

Lessons Learned

a. Reusuable steps created during earlier migration could be used to reduce the conversion time.
b. Object identification and verification should be achieved at first.
c. DataTables and Records are to be handled and meanigful
d. Conversion of the fucntion and testcases will be easy  enough if the above
    three are achieved and can reduce the conversion time significantly.
