Explore the key differences and features of Playwright vs Selenium. Make an informed decision for your test automation strategy with this comprehensive comparison.
LUXVT, a digital marketing enablement platform serving the luxury real estate agents in North America, sought to improve the efficiency of its tour creation feature by reducing the burden of manual regression testing. Frequent updates to this multimedia-rich functionality required extensive test cycles, which were time-consuming, error-prone, and delayed feature releases.
To address this, we implemented an automated testing framework using Selenium with Java, TestNG, and data-driven techniques. The framework supported complex scenarios, including validation of login workflows and dynamic form inputs. Integrated with Maven and a Git repository, the setup enabled continuous integration and streamlined handover.
The results were transformative. Around 93% of test cases were automated, reducing regression test duration by 75%. Test coverage expanded to include dependent modules like property search and translation features. Faster test execution and earlier defect detection helped accelerate development cycles and improve platform reliability.
In short, automation significantly boosted productivity, improved quality, and allowed LUXVT to deliver updates faster while maintaining a high standard of user experience.
The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) improved the accessibility of its Event Details Page to ensure a more inclusive experience for users with disabilities, especially those relying on screen readers and keyboard navigation. The original design posed several challenges, including missing image descriptions, unlabeled form fields, low color contrast, and limited support for assistive technologies, which hindered usability for visually impaired users.
To address these issues, 3ie conducted an accessibility audit using tools like WAVE and Axe, leading to key enhancements such as adding alt text to images, labeling form fields, improving color contrast, and integrating ARIA attributes. These changes brought the page into compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA standards. As a result, the page became significantly more user-friendly and inclusive, enabling users like Veena to navigate and register independently, while reinforcing 3ie’s commitment to digital accessibility and equal access for all.
