Case Study: Quick Base cuts test time from 5 hours to 15 minutes and boosts browser coverage with Sauce Labs

Quick Base reduces test execution time from 5 hours to 15 minutes while increasing coverage and empowering developers

Quick Base, a low-code application development platform, faced slow, fragile UI testing that turned its overnight regression suite into a five-hour bottleneck. Tests ran locally on VMs with limited cross‑browser coverage (notably lacking Internet Explorer), required manual result triage each morning, and left teams without confidence or fast feedback for releases.

By adopting Sauce Labs’ cloud testing, Quick Base now runs over 2,000 UI tests per day in parallel across all five major browsers, cutting check-in test time from five hours to about 15 minutes. The team ran nearly 12,000 tests in a week, validated 35 new UI features, achieved a 100% score on the Continuous Testing Benchmark, and gained faster, more reliable releases and developer empowerment.
