TRANSFIRIENDO Success Story: How STELA Simplified Complex Test Automation

TRANSFIRIENDO is an IT company that develops and markets business verticals under a SaaS model, such as electronic invoicing and mandatory vehicle insurance. Their QA team, while technical and functional, had no experience in programming or automation, creating a bottleneck: the manual testing of their complex systems delayed every software release. They needed a solution that could handle complexity without requiring code.

Success Summary

Client: TRANSFIRIENDO, a SaaS software company.

Challenge: To automate complex regression test cases that included user flows with multiple branches, database-level validations, and integration with third-party APIs.

Solution: The STELA platform, which allowed the non-programming QA team to automate these complex tests thanks to its simplicity and native ability to interact with APIs and databases.

Key Results

An 80% decrease in bugs reported by clients after each release.

A 35% savings in the total costs of the testing processes.

Accelerated time-to-market for new features.

Significant improvement in the overall quality and stability of the product.

The Complexity Bottleneck: When Manual Testing Slows Down Innovation

TRANSFIRIENDO’s business model depends on its agility to launch and update its software verticals. However, they faced a significant internal obstacle: the lack of an automation culture. Their systems were extensive and, more importantly, complex. Manual regression tests became a long and tedious process that delayed each new release.

The real challenge lay in their “complex cases.” These were not simple user interface tests; they required the validation of:

  • User flows with multiple branches and logical paths.
  • Database-level validations to ensure data integrity.
  • Interactions with third-party APIs, a common point of failure.

Because they couldn’t automate these scenarios, the required testing time stretched out, slowing the company’s ability to innovate and respond to market needs.

The Three-Layer Solution: UI, API, and Database with No-Code

TRANSFIRIENDO found the perfect solution for their technical, non-programming team in STELA. The project’s success was based on two fundamental pillars of the platform:

  1. Simplicity in Creation: The ease of building automations allowed the QA team, with no prior experience, to get started quickly.
  2. Multi-Layer Power: STELA proved to be more than just a UI tool. Its native ability to interact with both the API and database layers was a decisive factor, allowing for the end-to-end automation of complex flows.

The implementation was a collaborative process. Initially, the STELA team supported TRANSFIRIENDO’s QA analysts to build the first automations, focusing on generating “quick wins”. This approach freed up the internal team’s time, which they could then dedicate to expanding test coverage on their own, demonstrating a successful knowledge transfer.

The Results: Cost Reduction, Exponential Quality, and Greater Agility

The ability to automate their most complex test cases generated a profound and measurable impact across the entire business. The results were a “trifecta” of benefits:

  • Radical Quality Improvement: There was an 80% decrease in bugs reported by clients after each release, which increased product trust and stability.
  • Operational Cost Reduction: A direct savings of 35% in costs associated with testing processes was achieved.

Faster Delivery Speed: By eliminating the manual testing bottleneck, TRANSFIRIENDO was able to launch new features to the market much faster.

"Since we have been using STELA, in addition to the benefits mentioned above, we value very much the proximity and agility in the support, their always ready service" .
