7 Thanks to Testsigma, we’ve cut our manual testing time in half. What used to take two resources 8 man-hours every 7-8 days now takes less than half that time with automation. Plus, our workflow creation time has dropped to just 25 minutes. The efficiency and accuracy of catching issues before they go live have been crucial to our product quality.

About Spendflo

Spendflo is a Spend Management Software company headquartered in San Francisco, California. Specializing in SaaS subscription management, Spendflo provides businesses with an optimized service for buying, negotiation, renewal, and tracking of their SaaS subscriptions. By streamlining these processes, Spendflo enables companies to focus on customer value creation while realizing significant cost savings.

The Challenge

As Spendflo’s customer base and product complexity grew, the need for fast and reliable test automation became evident. Spendflo’s QA team faced challenges in manually testing their software. Prior to using Testsigma, their QA process was resource-intensive, with at least two resources dedicating 8 man-hours every 7-8 days to perform manual sanity and regression testing. This process was not only time-consuming, but also prone to human error, affecting the quality and confidence in production releases.

The Solution: Testsigma

Spendflo adopted Testsigma over a year ago to automate their software testing processes, primarily focusing on sanity testing and regression testing across multiple instances. Spendflo’s team especially values Testsigma’s ease of use, allowing them to trigger specific test cases for demo instances, providing confidence for their customer-facing teams before important demos and product releases.

One of the key features that Spendflo’s QA team benefits from is the scheduled test runs, which are essential for keeping track of production issues. With Testsigma, the team runs automated test suites that help them identify critical issues well in advance. In a recent example, Testsigma caught a critical manual error during regression testing, saving the team from potential downtime and boosting their confidence in the product.

Testsigma has been an absolute game-changer for us. With automated test runs, we’ve saved time and caught critical issues that would’ve been missed with manual testing. Our team now has greater confidence going into every release.

Results

By leveraging Testsigma, Spendflo has significantly improved its testing efficiency:

Time Savings : Before Testsigma, each manual test execution took significant time. With automation, the time required has been halved, greatly improving productivity and enabling the team to focus on higher-value tasks.
Resource Optimization : The team previously needed two resources for about 8 man-hours of testing every week. Testsigma’s automation capabilities have reduced this effort by half, freeing up valuable time and allowing the team to focus on more strategic tasks.
Faster Execution in the Cloud : Testsigma’s cloud-based testing platform has greatly reduced the execution time for test cases. The QA team at Spendflo reports faster results and greater ease in managing their testing processes.
Smarter and Quicker Debugging : With Testsigma’s screenshot capture at every step, troubleshooting has become more efficient. QA engineers can now quickly pinpoint the cause of test failures by reviewing the visual evidence, eliminating the need for extensive code analysis.

Spendflo’s Automation Journey (Key Metrics)

Increased Test Cases : Over time, Spendflo’s test automation efforts have scaled significantly. The graph below demonstrates the steady growth in the number of automated test cases, reflecting the expanding scope of automation coverage.

Growth in Step Groups : Spendflo’s QA team reports a consistent increase in the number of Step Groups created and utilized. These Step Groups allow them to organize automation steps for reusability, eliminating the need to rewrite steps for repeated actions. This approach has streamlined their testing process, enabling broader and more efficient coverage of complex scenarios.

These improvements have transformed Spendflo’s testing process, increasing reliability, reducing manual effort, and ensuring smoother product releases.
