Perfecto Primary Use Case

Roland Castelino - PeerSpot reviewer
QA Lead at BMO Financial

Our use cases are execution on the cloud for web and mobile. With mobile, it could be different platforms, like iOS, and Android. We have functional execution and API test execution. That is primarily what I use Perfecto for. We have a software product that tests the product on different platforms of web and mobile. In an automated fashion, not just manually testing it but also with automating a lot of these scenarios where we execute them, Perfecto runs the execution for us against these different platforms. 

We have 100-plus members registered with Perfecto who use the product at some point. There are multiple deployments across our departments. For example, at the Bank of Montreal, our everyday banking is one application that folks use to do banking. Then, we have other products like stocks, trading, and other products. There are multiple teams who use Perfecto, even though they fall under different suborganizations within the organization. It is open right now for anybody in the company to use it. At this point, there are 100-plus people using it, at least 30-plus teams who may have used it until now, and at least 18 to 20 teams actively using Perfecto within our organization.

We started using Perfecto to help us save costs. We gave out devices to a lot of content partners. At one point, we had 25 content partners, mostly in the US, and we gave them devices every year. We wanted a solution that would help us save on shipping devices to the US to our content partners.

In about six years, I've given 25 devices a year to at least 20 vendors. There are thousands of active devices and the roaming costs are mostly from mobile data, voice data, and text messages. Initially, we got into it from a cost-saving perspective, but then moved into doing our own internal testing and device qualification.

We have a hybrid deployment model. It's a public cloud, but we have credentials to log into it, which provides security. The devices are at our head office in our labs, but the web service is at Perfecto's data center. There's a VPN connectivity tunnel between our head office and their data center, and then it goes out to the web. Most people have all their devices at their data centers, but because of the sensitivity of our usage, we don't do that. Most of the devices that we have on the cloud are pre-commercial devices. They're not released to the market yet. We have a hybrid solution because we are working with sensitive NDA devices.

Everything is managed by Perfecto when it comes to the cloud itself.

Our team is using this solution and all of our preferred vendors signed NDAs. There are people in India, the US, and Europe who use this solution. Currently, in my system, I have 250 users, which includes people in marketing and customer service who log into the device before it launches and use it for training.

We also use the system for tutorials. We can take screenshots of new apps or services on the device. If someone wants to know how to turn on or turn off data roaming, we can click on settings and it will link each page as we click.

Project Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

We have all these devices and we test our mobile applications on them. We also use it for web testing, as a backup, when the other web browser testing tools that we use are down. We have combinations of mobile devices on which we do manual testing and we use it for automation testing as well.

Our organization mostly focuses on the front-end. We're a "digital factory" for all the UX and UI development testing. We design and develop front-end solutions for our bank. The solution is used by testers to test any changes related to mobile.

MB
Manager and Platform Lead, Canadian Digital Banking at BMO

We started off integrating Robot Framework, which is an automation tool, with Perfecto and mostly we've been using it for web UI automation.

Recently I've joined in with another team member to use it with a Quantum solution provided through Perfecto, instead of Robot Framework. It's like a Java-based implementation. It's already integrated with Perfecto and our use cases for that are web and API.

And, while I'm not involved with mobile, we have projects that are using it for mobile as well.

We are mainly using it for automated testing for some devices that we're not able to have physically. We are also using the Perfecto service to do manual testing.

We deploy builds daily, and we have an automated pipeline that goes directly to Perfecto. We do it on a daily basis.

Director, QE Automation & Analytics at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

With Perfecto, we are trying to automate our mobile test cases. These are test cases that run on mobile devices including Android and iOS phones, as well as Android tablets and iPads.

We are a financial institution and we rely on dedicated devices within a private cloud. Due to the sensitivity of our data, it is mandated that we use a private cloud.

I am the director of automation and analytics within our digital portfolio. We use Perfecto for the visualization and reporting of test results, including the relevant numbers.

We have seven servers in this environment running 4,000 different tests, so the load is distributed across these servers. Perfecto is used in this automated testing environment and helps ensure that the client's operations are running smoothly in production every day. We simulate a real person interacting with the app, to guarantee that it will work in the production environment like they need to work for the final customer.

We are using it to test the digital application that we are building. It is an insurance application. It is a web application that we test on multiple browsers and mobile devices. It is not a mobile native app.

We are an insurance company. As we expand the feature set or offerings that we have for our customers, we have to ensure that we are catering to the gamut of users. More and more people are becoming digital savvy, and they are using multiple devices to access applications online and on the road. So, we need to test our application on all possible devices that people may use. Even though it is not a mobile application, people do use mobiles for accessing web applications.

Head of Quality at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees

We are using Perfecto to do remote testing on physical devices. 

The device is quite significant for us because we are part of a telecom company and quite a lot of testing is sensitive. We need to have private cloud hosting as well as public cloud hosting. Perfecto gives us both options, and we are using both private as well as public cloud. When a new feature comes out, we cannot just put it on the public cloud for everyone to test. That is why we use a private cloud. We can access it over the internet anywhere in the world, which is very important for us.

We use it to work across multiple teams and departments.

We need to test our mobile automation by using iOS as well as Android for a lot of our use cases. 

We have a couple of use cases where the Perfecto team supports us, e.g., where single sign-on will move from the mobile app to the browser app, and then come back to the mobile app. 

The finger signature is one of our main use cases required for testing, and it is supported by Perfecto.

It provides the simulator and emulator that we are using in our project for testing.

We have a cross-section of mobile devices and web devices, and we use those for browser compatibility and device compatibility testing, as well as functional testing of several apps and websites. So, we have testers that pull up the appropriate device, whether it's an Android or iPhone, and validate that all the functionality of the app or website is working as expected.

It is hosted by Perfecto. They take care of all the hosting.
