Case Study: GoDaddy achieves 100% new-feature test coverage and 70% productivity increase with Cypress

How GoDaddy Created a Culture of Quality Through Test Automation

GoDaddy’s GoCentral Growth Team, which powers the website builder on GoDaddy’s cloud platform for small businesses, struggled with limited testing resources, many interdependent teams, and a need to shift team practices so everyone would write tests. Seeking an easy-to-adopt, CI-friendly solution for end-to-end coverage, GoDaddy selected Cypress (Test Runner and Dashboard) to standardize testing and improve quality across developers and QA.

By adopting Cypress, GoDaddy standardized automated end-to-end tests, integrated them into CI, and used the Dashboard for recorded runs, screenshots, and video to speed debugging. The result: 2,500 tests run daily, a 75% decrease in test maintenance, 100% new-feature test coverage and a 70% increase in productivity—helping the team move toward zero manual testing and higher release confidence with Cypress.
