Code Name Checker Tool

HCL’s Content Testing tool (launch specific tool) for validating presence of internal code
names in the launched webpages.


Business Problem

Unavailability of solutions to verify the internal code names in the webpages and backend before the launch of any website.

Solution

  • Verifies all applicable locales during a launch
  • Ensures no slippage of code names to live sites, thus ensuring the accuracy of data
  • Helps to save 50+ hours per launch per project. Saves on an avg ~300 hours per annum.

Why is the solution unique

  • Uniquely developed to reduce high risk factor during launches. (leakages of device code names)
  • Increases the test efficiency and reduces the manual efforts
  • Internal/cost effective tool powered by HCL; significant value add to Microsoft.

Features/BP diagram of the solution

  • During every launch multiple sets of code names are used instead of actual names, which are replaced just before launch. Often there are chances of slippage of the names since identification is cumbersome and manual.
  • Our tool is a chrome extension and provides a set of code names to verify the pages, highlights any instance or slippage.
