Case Study: Slido achieves 10X faster weekly releases with Cypress

Slido speeds weekly releases 10x with Cypress

Slido, a cloud-based audience interaction platform used at major events, faced a significant testing bottleneck. Their QA team relied on slow manual testing, which limited their ability to keep pace with daily deployments and a fast development cycle. This pressure increased as they migrated their codebase, creating a critical need for a reliable and easy-to-implement test automation solution from a vendor like Cypress.

By implementing Cypress, Slido's QA team was able to automate their testing with minimal JavaScript knowledge. The solution included using Cypress to create custom commands, test email flows, and integrate with tools like Slack for initiating tests. The results were a 24x faster test execution time and a 10x increase in release frequency, moving from weekly to daily deployments and completely eliminating their previous bottlenecks.
