In the world of app development, quality assurance is crucial yet often consumes a significant amount of resources. According to Statista, approximately 23% of companies’ annual IT budgets are dedicated to in-house or third-party QA and testing. The importance of quality assurance is evident as 88% of app users in a survey by QualiTest Group mentioned they would abandon apps with bugs and glitches.
With expertise in software development and marketing, Jon Perl, Laura Cressman, and Scott Wilson conceptualized QA Wolf to simplify QA testing for mobile and web apps through automation.
While numerous solutions exist to automate QA testing, QA Wolf stands out for its transformation. Initially focusing solely on QA test orchestration tools, the company shifted its focus following customer feedback, adopting an “outcomes-based test coverage” approach. This change prioritizes value-adding features over internal test suites, reducing the need for extensive teams and consultants to manage the platform.
QA Wolf’s innovative approach has resulted in increased productivity, as customers experience higher test coverage, faster shipping times, and reduced rework. By offering a flat-rate pricing model based on test coverage, unlimited test runs, and continuous support, QA Wolf aligns its goals with those of its customers, leading to increased satisfaction and efficiency.
The platform caters to Android and iOS apps, web apps, and Salesforce apps, providing automated testing with human oversight, along with built-in features for maintenance and bug reporting. With over 130 customers, including Salesloft and Drata, QA Wolf recently secured a $36 million Series B funding round, bringing its total funding to $57 million. The company plans to use the latest investment to enhance its platform, automation technology, and workforce.
Perl emphasized that QA Wolf’s value proposition surpasses that of other no-code or low-code tools by offering comprehensive end-to-end test coverage efficiently. The platform’s ability to bridge the gap between technical expertise and the need for quality assurance sets it apart in the market, providing exceptional value to users seeking robust testing solutions.
