This project is a large-scale marketplace. It is one of the world’s largest microstock platforms for video content creators, offering stock videos, music tracks, 3D models, and animation templates (After Effects, Apple Motion) with a licensing system. The platform also has its own built-in AI function for content.
When we entered the project, testing already existed, but required serious optimization. There were about 80 E2E tests available, the execution of which took more than an hour, as well as 170 smoke API tests implemented in Postman + Newman. However, the lack of full-fledged test documentation complicated the assessment of the current coverage and the identification of possible gaps in testing. The main task was to update the testing frameworks for both the backend and the frontend, which required a deep revision of the existing QA processes.
As a royalty-free stock testing strategy, the platform required a specialized approach to verify licensing compliance, content integrity, and transactional accuracy, ensuring seamless functionality for buyers and sellers in the testing royalty-free market.
✅ 2700 E2E tests have been automated, and coverage has increased to 90%, which contributes to automatic bug catching, reducing the number of critical errors and preventing them from getting into production.
✅ Regression testing of the full functionality of a huge site takes 2 hours, which allows us to release updates twice a week without sacrificing quality, and deliver new features to users faster.
✅ 3153 test cases have been developed, including functional and regression checks, all platform logic has been documented and tested, which reduces the risk of unexpected failures and makes the system predictable.
✅ 835 errors have been identified and fixed before going into production which clearly indicates that the stability of the system has increased, and users receive a higher quality product without critical failures.
✅ Automated reporting and documentation all test results are recorded and clearly displayed in reports, which simplifies analysis, improves quality control, and speeds up decision-making.
For the QA process for marketplace, Test Quad provided experienced Manual QA and Automation QA / Team Lead specialists. The main task was to ensure maximum test coverage with an emphasis on automation so that all critical scenarios and edge cases were thoroughly tested. This approach allowed to minimize the risks of defects and regressions in the functionality, performance and reliability of the system, ensuring the stability and high quality of the software product. which became a key factor for verification.
