For nearly 100 years, Intersport’s mission has been to make sports more accessible by offering a wide range of sporting goods as well as services such as equipment rental and maintenance.
To meet the needs of today's consumers, Intersport offers several digital resources on Intersport.fr and Intersport-rent.fr, such as:
- An e-commerce store
- Online catalogs
- Online Equipment Rental
- A virtual line
- E-gift cards
- A Size Guide
However, all of these tools naturally come with new releases and the risk of bugs.
For a company with such high traffic and a strong brand image to protect, any issue can have significant consequences.
As a result, testing has always been a priority for Intersport's development teams, but in the beginning, functional testing was done manually.
To save time and reduce the risk of human error, Intersport decided to implement an automated testing solution to ensure that its releases meet a set of quality criteria.
Why did Intersport choose Mr Suricate
According to Grégory Lafont, Head of Web Operations at Intersport, Mr Suricate the obvious choice for Intersport for three main reasons:
1. Ease of implementation
With the no-code tool Mr Suricate, it’s extremely easy to create one scenario at a time:
- In the intuitive tool.
- Through our Mr Suricate , always-available, and energetic Mr Suricate advisors.
2. Optimized scenario maintenance
One of the main challenges encountered in automated testing is maintaining test scenarios.
This time-consuming aspect of automated testing can compromise test quality or usability, and finding a solution to this issue was a top priority for Intersport.
The success managers at Mr Suricate experts in testing and testing solutions, and are able to support and challenge clients as they refine their test scenarios to always aim for maximum testing effectiveness—for example, by incorporating performance metrics and end-to-end testing.
Mr Suricate the Intersport teams on the relevance of the existing scenarios; they are advised either to remove a scenario if it is not relevant, to create a new one, or to expand and improve it to make it more relevant.
3. Expert and compassionate support
The web teams at Intersport sought a partner rather than a service provider in order to ensure detailed and precise oversight.
No matter who from Mr Suricate accompanies them, the level and quality of the interaction are the same every time.
Mr Suricate Intersport – the results
Thanks to this partnership, Intersport can rest assured that manual tests are enhanced by being replicated not only by the tool but also by testers at Mr Suricate the event of an anomaly, in order to identify any false positives.
In terms of concrete results, Intersport was able to achieve the following:
- A 2X to 3X reduction in the time spent on non-regression testing by automating all test cases. This increase in efficiency has significantly reduced the time to market for releases.
- A 30% reduction in the bug rate.
- Stability and security for the customer journey on Intersport.fr and Intersport-rent.fr.
Prevention makes responsiveness obsolete
Responsiveness means meeting a need when it arises.
At Mr Suricate, the goal is to identify the potential of a need in order to proactively eliminate weaknesses and anomalies.
For Intersport, Mr Suricate the peace of mind that comes from Mr Suricate there when the system goes live. No matter how many releases there have been since the partnership began, they’ve always had a high-performing tool with no regressions.
