Case Study: Large Homewares Retailer achieves 2X productivity and 40 weekly releases with LambdaTest

A $1B Retail Giant Relies On LambdaTest To Scale Confidently And 2X Faster

Large Homewares Retailer, a £$1B retail leader, faced slow release cycles and pipeline blockages during its move from an IBM WebSphere monolith to microservices. The QA team struggled with poor turnaround and support from their prior cloud/device provider, limited device coverage, and costly in‑house device labs — all of which hampered their goal of faster CI/CD and testing at scale. To address these challenges they evaluated and adopted LambdaTest for automated UI testing, Selenium Grid in the cloud, and integrations with their TestCafe/Jenkins toolchain.

LambdaTest delivered a cloud-based Selenium Grid and broad browser/device coverage with pay‑as‑you‑use scaling, plus proactive 24/7 support and out‑of‑the‑box integrations. As a result, the Large Homewares Retailer doubled productivity, increased release cadence from every 2–4 weeks to about 40 releases a week (≈200/month), reduced average production deployment to ~30 minutes, and saw most issues resolved within hours — enabling faster, more reliable testing without maintaining an on‑premise device lab.
