BYU-Idaho: From 3 Weeks to 20 Minutes
Automating class registration testing for a university serving thousands of students, transforming a manual bottleneck into a push-button tactical advantage.
Client
BYU-Idaho
Higher education institution with thousands of active students enrolling each semester.
Core Stack
- Selenium
- ASP.NET MVC
- SQL Server
- Custom Unit Testing
The Challenge
The university’s internal registration system was being tested manually every semester, a process that consumed up to 3 weeks per test cycle. Each cycle required manual validation of complex prerequisites, class capacity logic, time conflicts, and cross-departmental enrollment rules.
This manual bottleneck slowed down critical release timelines and drained expensive developer and QA resources on repetitive, error-prone tasks.
The Solution
As the automation lead, we developed a custom tactical framework designed for total coverage and long-term stability:
- UI Simulation Selenium integration for thousands of registration scenarios.
- Data Validation Direct SQL Server querying to verify backend data integrity.
- Modular Testing Custom unit tests to isolate and debug specific business rules.
- Reporting Real-time dashboard for QA staff to review and rerun failed cases.
Results & Impact
Test cycle time reduction from 3 weeks.
Saved in manual QA effort per major update.
Accuracy in prerequisite and capacity logic validation.
Reusable framework maintained by internal university staff.
Reliability starts with a diagnostic.
If your systems rely on manual effort and hope, you have a liability, not an asset. Let's audit your parameters and identify the path to push-button operations.
