Case Study: Beamery reduces manual testing by 50% with Cypress

Beamery reduces manual regression tests by 50% with Cypress

Beamery, a talent lifecycle management platform, faced significant challenges with its testing processes as the company scaled. Their Selenium-based framework was difficult for most engineers to use, leading to a backlog of over 6,000 manual tests and a major release stabilization phase that took 3-4 weeks. They needed a solution, like Cypress, that would empower their entire engineering team to contribute to automation and reduce testing time.

Beamery implemented Cypress for their end-to-end and component testing. The solution was rapidly adopted, enabling backend and frontend engineers to write automated tests. This resulted in a more than 50% reduction in their manual regression suite and cut the stabilization phase from weeks to a predictable 7-8 days. Using Cypress, they now run 215,000 tests per month, saving 20 days of run time monthly through parallelization, with some test runs reduced from a full day to just 30 minutes.
