Testery

Testery operates as a cloud-based continuous testing platform, offering services and tools designed to assist development teams in enhancing software quality and accelerating release cycles. Founded in 2017, the company provides a test orchestration cloud that is engineered to run existing tests at a speed two to four times faster than traditional testing grids. The platform's core function is to automate tests at every stage of the DevOps pipeline, integrating with CI/CD workflows to provide rapid feedback after each deployment.

The company was founded by Chris Harbert, who serves as CEO, and Adam England, the CTO. Harbert has two decades of experience in the industry, specializing in CI/CD, DevOps, software development, and test automation. This deep background in the technical and operational aspects of software delivery directly informs Testery's product and service offerings. The leadership team also includes other experienced "Test Orchestrators," a term they use for developers with expertise in DevOps and test automation.

Testery's business model is built around its platform and professional services. The platform itself supports a wide array of testing frameworks, allowing clients to leverage their existing test suites without the need for rewriting. Key features include source control integration, highly configurable execution options, and significant parallelism to autoscale the testing grid, which can improve test run times by 15x or more. It provides detailed results with logs, screenshots, and videos, and includes features like flaky test detection and automatic retries. The company generates revenue through a tiered subscription model (Growth, Team, Scaling, and Enterprise) based on usage, measured in test execution hours and the number of parallel runners. Additionally, Testery offers professional services where their "Test Orchestrators" assist clients in getting started with test automation, migrating to modern frameworks, and optimizing existing test runs.

The company targets development teams of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises, aiming to improve their developer productivity and confidence in releases. By managing the complexities of parallel test execution and providing a collaborative cloud-based repository for test results, Testery helps teams, whether co-located or remote, to identify and manage issues more efficiently. Their services are designed to enable a client's own team to take ownership of quality, rather than outsourcing QA entirely. The company has received funding, including a $250K seed round in September 2022, to support its growth.
