Case Study: Pingboard achieves 15‑minute parallel test runs and faster deployments with CircleCI

Pingboard Cuts Testing Time Using CircleCi

Pingboard is a real-time, collaborative org-chart app for web and mobile whose small engineering team needed a lightweight continuous integration solution so developers could focus on features instead of managing tests and servers. The team wanted a stable CI foundation without the overhead of self-hosted Jenkins, so they adopted CircleCI on an investor’s recommendation.

By using CircleCI’s parallel testing, Pingboard runs 15–20 builds per day and executes 2,700 tests in about 15 minutes, a process that would otherwise take hours to set up and run. Automated GitHub-triggered builds give the team fast feedback, reduce buggy deploys, and free developers to switch tasks confidently knowing failures are caught and easy to fix.
