Case Study: Dollar Shave Club achieves 15+ daily deployments and slashes regression testing to under 10 minutes with Sauce Labs

Dollar Shave Club Embraces Devops and CD, releasing code 15 times a day with Sauce Labs automated Testing

Dollar Shave Club, whose website and mobile apps serve as its primary storefront, needed faster, more scalable testing to support frequent releases. A small QA team was spending hours on mixed manual and slow automation—full regression and automation passes took up to 6 and 4 hours respectively—making it hard to provide timely feedback while deploying code more than 15 times per day.

The team adopted Sauce Labs’ cloud testing, using 50 concurrent instances to run 100+ web and mobile tests in parallel and integrate with Jenkins. As a result, full regression runs dropped from over 6 hours to under 10 minutes, developers get results within 10 minutes of a commit, the company saves about 30 developer hours per week and hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, and it now reliably supports continuous delivery.
