Case Study: ConsumerAffairs achieves faster, scalable QA with Rainforest QA

Managing Developer-Owned QA with Fast, Scalable Test Execution

Consumer Affairs, an ecommerce consumer news and advocacy organization, needed a faster way to handle quality assurance across a growing SaaS review platform with tens of thousands of pages. Without an in-house QA team, its developers were spending hours on cross-browser testing and other repetitive checks with each deployment, slowing product work.

Rainforest QA provided the functional QA platform Consumer Affairs used to run large-scale tests across multiple browsers and pages at once, with results in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. The impact was substantial: Consumer Affairs increased testing capacity 30x without adding headcount, reduced QA costs by $1.3M annually, and executed 557 hours of testing each month while freeing developers to focus on development.
