Why build an internal tool?

Growing to 150+ QA engineers and managing millions of test cases for hundreds of customers required custom tech.

1. So nothing falls through the cracks

Task Wolf is our in-house project management platform. Every message, every request for new coverage, every test needing maintenance is dynamically prioritized and we monitor resolution time.

2. So each customer is treated like our only customer

We needed a centralized way to monitor the test coverage we were providing, identify troublesome tests that took too long to run, and ensure that test maintenance was completed ahead of schedule.

3. So every member of the team performs at their best

As we added new people, and layers of management, we needed visibility into which QA engineers were going above and beyond, and which were falling behind.

Existing task management tools weren’t cutting it

There are no off-the-shelf tools that can tell you...

Every test failure is reviewed in <10 minutes
Every bug report has repro steps and videos.
Every active test is online 99.9% of the time.
Every incoming message is assigned to a QA engineer.
Every customer request is completed and closed out to their satisfaction.
Open tasks were re-assigned to the next shift 24 hours a day.
Test suites are being completed in their expected run time.
Developers receive feedback from QA Wolf fast enough to keep sprint commitments.
Customers are notified about environment issues blocking their runs.
New test creation speed of every QA engineer.
QA engineers' tasks are being completed in priority order.
QA pods are right-sized for current activity levels.
New coverage requests are captured and automatically queued.
Flaky test rate of individual contributors.
Identify extraordinary QA engineers for recognition and promotion.
Coverage expanded without slowing down our overall cycle times.

Task Wolf is air-traffic control for 3+ million monthly test runs

The platform aggregates all customer communications, test run activity, bug reports, and more.

The three main views are designed for different layers of our team, from the QA engineers all the way up to our Leadership team.

The QA engineer view

Off-the-shelf tools track work over weeks and months. Task Wolf’s time horizon is minutes. The real-time feed of customer messages, failing tests, and coverage requests is continuously sorted and reprioritized to prevent anything from slipping through the cracks.

The QA manager view

Monitor failures
View team performance

With Task Wolf fully integrated with our test execution infrastructure, we’re able to predict surges in test maintenance and reassign pods of QA engineers where they’re needed.

The flexibility and constant monitoring help us guarantee that every release is QA’d within 15 minutes and none of our clients are left waiting for help.

Customer success manager view

From here, QA Wolf’s Leadership team and Customer Success Managers monitor the health and success of every client, with a particular focus on how fast new tests are coming on line, how long test suites take to run, and how quickly we’re submitting bug reports.

You don’t measure QA teams in feature releases and sprint velocity

You measure them by how completely they test, how quickly they get test results back to developers, and how effectively they catch bugs. Project management tools are designed for tracking tasks, not ensuring test readiness, and they monitor progress in days when QA cycles take minutes.

We built Task Wolf because no off-the-shelf tool provides the visibility that’s needed at the scale we operate. It’s our secret serving each of our clients as if they were our only one.
