Case Study: Rent the Runway achieves 20–24% testing man-hour savings and faster, more confident deployments with Zephyr

Rent the Runway Rocks the Red Carpet with Haute Test Management

Rent the Runway is a technology-driven fashion company that lets customers rent designer apparel and accessories from a catalog of over 65,000 items across web and mobile platforms. With multiple integrated systems supporting supply chain, logistics, commerce and analytics and thousands of transactions daily, the engineering team struggled with manual testing dashboards, one-person reporting overhead, poor traceability from requirements to defects, and difficulty identifying coverage gaps and deployment readiness.

By adopting Zephyr integrated with JIRA, Rent the Runway established requirement coverage reporting, reusable dashboards for manual cases, and end-to-end traceability that fits their Agile/Kanban workflows. The change reduced administrative work (saving roughly one-third of a person’s job), cut man-hours coordinating coverage gaps by about 20–24%, improved visibility and confidence in reporting, and increased readiness to deploy and overall test coverage.
