Case Study: Wine Access triples automated tests and cuts QA budget 62% with testRigor

An ecommerce company increased the number of Automated test cases 3x while saving 62% of the qa Budget

Wine Access, an eCommerce wine retailer, faced slow progress and high maintenance costs with Selenium-based test automation, creating a bottleneck for rapid releases and causing bugs to slip into production. They needed a user-friendly solution that would let their whole QA team—rather than only SDETs—create and maintain automated tests; they selected testRigor’s no-code test automation platform to meet that need.

testRigor enabled fast onboarding and porting (100+ tests in a week), eliminated manual regression, and put test creation in the hands of the entire team. As a result, automated test coverage increased 3X (from 100+ to 330 tests), QA headcount went from 4 to 2.5 FTEs, hotfixes fell from 8.6 to 5.8 per month (≈33% reduction), test execution time dropped from 75s to 43s per test, and Wine Access realized 62% in QA cost savings (~$206K/year), with projected savings exceeding $1M over five years.
