Enterprise Test Automation Framework
A fully automated UI regression suite for PLC programming - eliminating manual testing completely and delivering 100% confidence in core functionality with every release.
The Quality Assurance Challenge
Manual regression testing for Windows desktop applications is time-consuming, error-prone, and non-scalable. Every release required extensive manual validation, delaying deployments and risking critical defects in production. The team needed a robust, repeatable, and enterprise-grade automation solution.
Achieved through enterprise-grade test automation and CI/CD integration.

Key Features & Architecture
Enterprise-grade quality assurance infrastructure
100% Automated E2E Flow
Launches XMPS 2000, creates projects, executes user-defined operations, and validates grid data—completely hands-free.
Complete Test Isolation
Every test starts with a fresh application instance. Zero data contamination, zero flaky tests—100% repeatable results.
Intelligent Dialog Handling
Smart detection and handling of "Save Current Project?" dialogs—only acts when present, ensuring smooth execution.
Business Scenario Validation
Validates critical flows: Add → Save → Verify (1 row), Add → Cancel → Verify (0 rows). Prevents data corruption.
Screenshot on Failure
Automatic full-screen capture embedded in HTML reports on any failure—instant debugging without log diving.
Page Object Model (POM)
Industry best practice for maintainability. UI changes update once, all tests auto-adapt. Scales to 100+ scenarios.
