ProdPerfect provides an automated end-to-end testing platform that instruments browsers to traverse sites like real users and builds tests from observed live-user behavior. The product draws on lessons from the product-analytics industry to quantitatively understand how customers’ users move through web applications. The company says it can help reduce what it estimates many companies spend—around 20% of engineering budgets—on staffing QA teams. ProdPerfect reports roughly 50 customers and around $2 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) as of the article. The firm relocated its headquarters from Boston to San Francisco earlier in 2019 but operates as a remote-first company. It plans to invest the new capital in sales and marketing, product development, and customer service while maintaining a modest war chest. ProdPerfect’s platform observes anonymized user behavior in web apps and automatically generates functional test scripts for engineering teams. The service continually builds on product knowledge and can simulate new tests when features are added based on aggregated common user flows. Currently the company offers functional testing using a single virtual user and reports deployment within two weeks of installing a data tracker. ProdPerfect says it can provide more than 70% coverage of user interactions with 95%+ test stability. The startup plans to expand its testing capabilities into performance, security and localization testing and will use new funding to grow the sales team and further build the product. ProdPerfect was founded from CEO Dan Widing’s experience as VP of engineering at WeSpire and emphasizes anonymization of user data.
