As Ketch's application surface expanded rapidly, QA was spending heavy cycles validating critical flows release after release. Engineering needed a stronger automated signal on end-to-end stability, and any partner had to meet tight security and data protection standards. Building a large in-house automation team wasn't the answer.
Case Study
QA as a release signal, not a bottleneck
How Ketch Scaled to Nearly 200 E2E Tests Without Building an Automation Team
200+
full user-journey E2E tests
About
Ketch
Ketch is a fast-growing data protection and privacy management company. They ship new workflows and user journeys at high velocity and need reliability to match. With a QA team based in India and a high bar for data protection and compliance, Ketch needed quality practices that could keep pace with their product and protect critical flows as the platform scaled.
the problem
Quality at product speed, without the overhead
the Solution
E2E testing as a service
Checksum provides fully managed E2E testing as a service, owning the entire automation function so your team doesn't have to. AI generates and maintains Playwright-based tests across your critical user journeys, while a dedicated team delivers daily quality reports and handles every failure from detection to resolution.
Realistic coverage
Models are trained on actual user activity, so tests reflect how real users move through your product, covering edge cases as well as the happy path.
Self-healing tests
When your UI evolves, Checksum automatically repairs affected tests, beyond just selectors, repairing underlying test logic when flows themselves change.
Continuous by design
Checksum plugs directly into CI, running on every commit, every PR, and every deploy, so quality is baked into the workflow, not bolted on at the end.
the Results
Fully managed E2E testing as a strategic quality function
Zero automation maintenance burden
The full suite runs daily. Each morning, Ketch teams receive a concise report with pass/fail status, newly detected issues, and clear visibility into risk, replacing ad hoc manual sweeps with a consistent, automated read on stability.
A quality report every morning
A quality report every morning
Every failure traced to a fix
Every failure is logged, traceable, and linked to internal ticket IDs, giving Ketch a clean chain from test to fix and historical insight into fragile areas for better prioritization and regression tracking.
Checksum turned end-to-end testing into a reliable release signal for us. The suite runs daily, stays healthy as our product evolves, and helps us ship with confidence.
