Case Study: GrowthHackers achieves lean, automated QA and faster feedback with Rainforest QA

GrowthHackers - Customer Case Study

GrowthHackers, a collaboration platform for growth marketers, needed to replace an outsourced QA team while keeping test coverage high and QA overhead low. The challenge was to integrate a lean, reliable testing process into their engineering workflow, ensure tests were clear for remote testers, and run regular checks against staging without slowing development.

They adopted Rainforest QA, designed highly modular, granular tests, and integrated runs with CircleCI for nightly staging smoke tests. After an initial build-out (50–70% time for the first month), maintenance dropped to about 1–2 hours weekly; the outsourced team was retired with no loss of coverage, feedback cycles became faster, and tester videos made issues reproducible—freeing engineers to focus on building features.
