Telecom company IDT used testRigor to increase its test automation coverage to 91% in less than a year, up from approximately 33%. The company also achieved a 90% decrease in bugs, $2 million in saved automation engineering costs, and allowed interns with no prior coding experience to outpace experienced automation engineers in automated test case development.
Another client, e-commerce company Wine Access, tripled its automated test cases and cut its QA budget by 62%. The company projects over $1 million in savings over the next five years by using testRigor.
“Traditional automation methods are typically not scalable,” said Golubev. “We empower teams to help reduce time spent on testing while simultaneously achieving superior outcomes.”
