Solution Highlights
Gateway Digital understood the customer’s automation requirements and suggested the most suitable automation tools to be used. We automated their testing needs by implementing Gateway Test Automation Framework (GTAF) and reduced the testing time by 50-60% through automation, allowing them to release their HR & payroll suites quickly to their end-users.
