Case Study: The Black Tux saves $200K/year with QA Wolf

The Black Tux saves $200K/yr and boosts test coverage to 80% with QA Wolf

The Black Tux, a tuxedo and suit rental service, faced a bottleneck in its product development due to a low-coverage, slow, and unmaintained automated test suite. This forced its engineering team to manually test new features, slowing releases and creating nervousness around site changes. CTO David Thomas sought to avoid the risk of hiring in-house QA engineers and instead turned to the service provided by QA Wolf.

QA Wolf implemented a comprehensive end-to-end test coverage solution, building 150 automated tests and achieving 80% coverage in three months. Their service automatically updated tests alongside the customer's ongoing front-end migration, ensuring every release was fully tested. This solution reduced QA cycles from two days to 10 minutes and offset the need for two QA engineers, saving The Black Tux $200,000 annually. Additionally, QA Wolf provided on-demand load testing to help the company prepare for seasonal traffic spikes.
