16. Testimonials on Testing Services
An Europe (Switzerland) and India based Product Organization
At Cosmonet we had a challenge of doing monotonous testing for each release. OpCord recommended us to
automate some of the sanity test cases using Selenium Test Suite. A technician from OpCord worked very closely
with our test team to write automated test cases. Over 300 test cases were automated. This brought down the
manual testing effort from 12 hours to 3 hours. This initiative not only helped Cosmonet to understand Selenium
Test Suite, but also improved the efficiency of Testing. This also reduced human errors. It was a very collaborative
and synergetic working together with OpCord. We thank OpCord for helping us to accomplish this initiative.
- Raveesha Rao M. P., Director and Chief Operations Officer, Cosmonet Solutions
An India based Organization
OpCord has provided us good testing resources in very short time and they really specialize in automation testing.
They scaled up in very short time for many automation tools, like, QTP, Selenium, AutoIT and some of our
development projects on Java and .Net. We are very satisfied with their customer centric approach and their
competence on test automation. I am sure that OpCord team has a great future if they carry same rigor, focus and
dedication.
