Case Study: Airtasker achieves 12x automation efficiency with BrowserStack

Community Marketplace Airtasker Increases Automation Efficiency 12x With BrowserStack

Airtasker, the community marketplace serving 2 million+ users, faced a growing QA bottleneck as it scaled: a large backlog of features, few QA resources, and the need for a scalable cloud solution for browsers and devices to enable continuous, regression-free delivery. To address this, Airtasker’s Senior Automation Engineer chose BrowserStack and its Live, Automate and AppAutomate offerings to provide on-demand browsers and devices and integrate with their CI-led automation framework.

BrowserStack delivered a reliable, scalable testing platform and support that Airtasker integrated with their CI and “Aircheck” framework, enabling 500+ tests daily and parallel verification of critical user states. The impact was dramatic: testing 500 scenarios fell from 3 hours to 15 minutes (a 12x productivity increase), manual regression testing was effectively eliminated, releases became more frequent (multiple deploys per day and weekly mobile releases), and Airtasker gained the confidence to ship code only after BrowserStack’s sign-off.
