Case Study: Granola achieves enterprise-ready stability and faster releases with QAwerk

Granola automated 76% of regression tests with QAwerk

Granola, an AI-powered notepad for professionals, faced significant quality assurance challenges as its user base grew. Without an internal QA team, its developers and support staff were burdened with testing, which was difficult to maintain across diverse hardware and was causing delays in their rapid weekly release schedule. To address this, Granola partnered with QAwerk for a dedicated QA solution.

QAwerk implemented a comprehensive multi-layered testing strategy, building over 1,100 test cases and a custom automation framework using Playwright. This automated 76% of the core regression suite. The solution enabled Granola to release updates weekly with high stability, leading to a successful enterprise pivot and a $1.5B valuation after raising $125M in funding. QAwerk's work ensured a polished user experience that drove rapid market growth.
