How Autotrader uses QA Wolf

$600K+/year

“Offset the need to hire six QA engineers, saving $600K+/year.”

As published on qawolf.com. Captured by usedby on Oct 7, 2026.

What happened

AutoTrader uses QA Wolf to build, run and maintain an end-to-end automated test suite for its dealership CRM products. This replaced manual testing that had been done by customer support staff and let engineering release features faster without regressions.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of QA Wolf and Autotrader, not ours.

  • 1,000 hours per year“Returned more than 1,000 hours per year to the customer support team, saving $20,000/year.”
  • 15–20%“Increased release velocity 15–20%.”
  • 15 minutes“Reduced QA cycles from 3+ days to 15 minutes.”
  • $20,000“we’ve returned more than 1,000 hours per year to that team—the equivalent of $20,000 in misallocated salary.”

QA Wolf built, runs, and maintains a test suite that AutoTrader would need six full-time QA engineers and QA managers to support internally, freeing up resources that can be used for product engineering and deliver even more value to customers.

Some projects were even called “eternal projects.” Developers would move on to other projects before the testers could go over everything. Sometimes features would lay around for four months before they were released. It was making developers really unhappy, and slowing down our business strategy.
