Case Study: LCVista achieves faster, more reliable testing with Lincoln Loop

LCVista cuts CI build time by 87% with Lincoln Loop

LCvista, a SaaS provider of accounting compliance solutions, faced significant challenges with its inefficient and unreliable Django test suite. Long CI build times, flaky tests, and a lack of test isolation hindered their development process and eroded trust in their testing results. To address this, LCVista partnered with Lincoln Loop for a test suite audit and optimization.

Lincoln Loop implemented a phased solution that included replacing the test runner with Pytest, ensuring test isolation, and streamlining database configuration. This resulted in an 87% improvement in CI build times and estimated annual savings of $28,000. Lincoln Loop's work empowered LCVista's developers with reliable feedback and provided the training needed to sustain a high-quality testing culture.
