Case Study: Intel achieves 25x more frequent software delivery with CloudBees CD

Intel Delivers Software 25 Times More Frequently with CloudBees CD

Intel, a large embedded‑software organization, struggled with quarterly release cycles across millions of lines of code and dozens of hardware/software permutations. A 15‑person QA team could only run about 100 tests per day, leaving roughly 85% of code quality unknown and forcing a “push and pray” delivery approach that limited release velocity and feature rollout.

By adopting CloudBees CD to automate on‑demand, reusable tests with self‑service access, environment provisioning, and real‑time visibility, Intel shifted quality left and made testing metrics-driven. The results: deployments moved from quarterly to roughly every two weeks (25× faster), QA lead time fell to about 10 minutes, test execution rose to over 15,000 cases per day, known code coverage increased to ~87%, and the same QA team now operates as motivated test engineers.
