Case Study: Campus Explorer achieves 98% testing time savings (72 hours to 72 minutes) with Sauce Labs

Campus Explorer Reduces Testing time from 72 Hours To 72 Minutes

Campus Explorer, an internet company with a college and career search engine offering over 8,500 options, faced slow, costly QA after moving from QTP to Selenium: maintaining a Selenium Grid and multiple VMs was a full-time job for their five-person QA team, and manual end-to-end testing could take up to 72 hours. The team needed scalable, cross-browser testing and faster feedback as part of their CI process.

By adopting Sauce Labs to outsource their Selenium Grid and VMs and integrating tests into Jenkins, Campus Explorer now runs 70+ tests in parallel 6–7 times a day, cutting total test time from 72 hours to 72 minutes (98% time savings) and reducing debugging time per failure by about 75%. The result: faster releases, higher test coverage across browsers, and markedly improved developer productivity and QA work–life balance.
