OXFORD INSTRUMENTS: SDET ACADEMY 

Oxford Instruments, a leading provider of high-tech analytical tools, needed a skilled technical tester to support one of their development teams. Their ideal candidate would be proficient in both manual testing and automated regression test development using C#. However, finding the right talent proved challenging in a competitive job market.

To bridge this gap, Oxford Instruments partnered with nFocus, leveraging their SDET Academy to source Junior SDETs with the necessary expertise. These specialists were instrumental in automating time-consuming manual tests, improving efficiency across the testing process. By implementing a new UI automation framework, they replaced an outdated system, seamlessly integrating automated tests into the CI/CD pipeline.

The impact was immediate and measurable. Over 70 automated tests were developed, significantly reducing manual testing efforts and allowing QA testers to focus on creating new test cases.

The introduction of automated regression testing also helped identify defects earlier in the development cycle, preventing costly delays and enhancing software quality.

With the support of nFocus and its expert guidance, Oxford Instruments successfully strengthened their testing capabilities. The collaboration not only accelerated development updates but also provided a scalable solution that could extend across other applications. The SDETs quickly became a valuable part of the team, demonstrating strong technical skills and adaptability, backed by the ongoing expertise of nFocus. This case study highlights how structured training programs like the SDET Academy can effectively address resourcing challenges in the fast-evolving tech landscape.
