TestGrid is an on-demand platform that allows users to run tests on websites and apps across browsers. The startup, which is launching today and can be used on premise or in the cloud, makes it easier to find and scale physical and cloud infrastructure for testing. Banking, financial services and insurance, e-commerce, manufacturing, logistics and healthcare are some of the sectors it serves.
TestGrid was created in 2016 as a scriptless automation tool, and then over the next five years its team, led by founder and CEO Harry Rao, built a real device cloud, end-to-end testing platform and test management to create a "one-stop shop" It offers 200 minutes of testing time per month for free on its public cloud, as well as 50 enterprise customers ranging in size from startup to Fortune 500 companies.
Before founding TestGrid, he said he built many mobile apps and websites for companies and needed to test them at scale in an affordable way.
The first step was to automate the applications and the second was to run them on different forms. We had to integrate a lot of tools to get the end-to-end software development lifecycle automations we were looking for.
TestGrid started with low-code automation tech. Infrastructure providers were too expensive as they grew. They created an in-house solution and boot strap it.
TestGrid helps developers test things like their user interface on different device and browser combinations, app and website performance metrics, data usage, time for firstbyte and transaction time to go to the next page, integration testing to see if theUI andAPI are in sync.
The case studies were about how TestGrid aided clients. A gas and electric company needed to respond to the fires in California with iPad devices. They needed to make sure they were prepared, but their app kept crashing. They needed to make sure their software architecture was perfect. They were able to shift their entire testing infrastructure to the cloud thanks to TestGrid. The Appium Java test cases were moved into a scriptless environment. The gas and electric company was able to save at least 40% of its testing costs by monitoring the performance of its app.
The second example is a large clothing e- commerce company that was experiencing data logging errors, glitch and slow loading pages on their app, slowing down sales and negatively impacting customer experience. The company had to keep a record of all feedback and development cycles since they had multiple apps running around the world. They used the in-sprint automation from TestGrid to do that. They were able to get insights into their performance metrics with device, network and app logs.
TestGrid considers Browser Stack and other competitors. All of TestGrid's testing features are offered under the same umbrella at a lower cost.
Users can reduce their testing budget by subscribing to the TestGrid platform alone, and no other testing platform does.
TestGrid is in good shape. The company plans to add more solutions to its product suite.
