The Challenge
As our team grew, things became more complex. We had a mix of backend ETLs, APIs, and a frontend web application, and it became crucial to ensure top-notch quality. The existing testing methods faced the following issues:
- Application problems when making changes to both the backend and frontend code.
- Technical glitches during presentations.
- Long and time-consuming bug fixes that caused delays in project completion.

In our quest for a sophisticated yet cost-effective Test Management tool, we sought a solution that would:
- Streamline regression testing strategies.
- Effortlessly correlate failed tests with Jira.
- Regularly monitor automated UI test outcomes.
- Cultivate a productive rapport with our chosen tool for continuous improvement.
Decision-Making Process
Due to our reliance on research grants, we needed an intuitive, flexible, and cost-effective solution.
