Case Study: Exaptive achieves 4X faster releases and scalable QA with Rainforest QA

Replacing Manual Testing with a Fast, Scalable QA Process

Exaptive, a small data application studio, struggled with slow, ad‑hoc releases because a single junior developer performed manual end‑to‑end testing. With no full‑time QA resources, missed bugs and long QA cycles forced engineers to stop feature work to fix production issues, creating friction and risk around every release.

Exaptive implemented Rainforest QA’s on‑demand testing to scale and automate their smoke and regression suites. The new process delivers full test results in about 30 minutes, lets them run the smoke suite multiple times per day, and integrates with Jenkins and Slack—resulting in a 4× faster release cadence, recovered developer time, weekly releases instead of monthly, and much greater confidence and lower stress across the team.
