Case Study: a large beauty retailer accelerates releases and boosts test automation with Perforce Perfecto

a large beauty retailer cuts release cycles to 2 weeks with Perforce

The customer, a large beauty retailer, faced significant bottlenecks in its software development lifecycle (SDLC) due to predominantly manual testing processes for its web and mobile apps. Limited automation was run serially, taking over a week to complete, and a lack of testing devices led to poor coverage and inefficiencies between QA and development teams. They partnered with Perforce, utilizing its Perfecto Continuous Quality Lab platform to address these challenges.

Perforce's solution provided a cloud-based platform with access to real devices and browsers for manual and automated testing under real user conditions. This enabled the retailer to achieve 90% unattended parallel test automation, allowing for nightly regression testing. As a result, the retailer increased its release velocity from every three weeks to every two weeks and is on track to increase device coverage to 95%, significantly improving product quality and customer experience.
