About Ripple

Ripple is a modern meeting intelligence platform built for teams who want to stop wasting time in meetings and start accelerating execution. By combining the best of async and synchronous collaboration, powered by AI, Ripple helps teams align faster, focus on what matters, and turn every meeting outcome into action.

With a lean team, Ripple moves fast and ships often. That velocity is core to their product promise, and Botgauge helps them deliver it reliably.

The Challenge: Manual QA Slowing a Fast-Moving Team

As Ripple's product grew in complexity, its QA process failed to keep pace.

Regression testing was manual and spreadsheet-driven, requiring every flow to be revalidated before each release.
Each release was locked into a 2 - 3 week regression cycle.
Engineers shipped code but waited weeks for QA to catch up.
Despite the effort, bugs still slipped into production, impacting user trust and triggering firefighting.
QA costs scaled with the test suite, with no clear limit in sight.

The core tension was familiar: Ripple needed QA that scaled with their product. But every option they evaluated, from hiring QA engineers to building an internal automation framework, and adopting traditional automation tools, shifted the burden back onto the engineering team. More scripts to write. More tests to maintain. A different kind of manual work.

"We're seeing comprehensive test results within hours, not weeks. Same-day coverage changes how you think about releasing."

How BotGauge Works Within Ripple's Workflow

BotGauge runs automated regression across Ripple's most critical flows and sits directly inside their weekly release process:

Regression suites run before every weekly release, covering the core meeting-intelligence workflows, collaboration flows, and user-facing features where regressions have the greatest impact.

Failures surface with clear context, so engineers can identify and act on issues immediately, without having to triage noisy or flaky test output.

AI agents continuously maintain and update the suite as Ripple's product evolves, keeping tests current without any manual intervention from the engineering team.

BotGauge's QA experts worked alongside Ripple from day one, mapping critical regression paths, building a suite tailored to Ripple's release cadence, and integrating it into their existing workflow without disruption.

With BotGauge in place, Ripple's engineers stay focused on building, knowing everything already shipped continues to work as expected.

What used to consume two to three weeks of manual effort before every release now runs automatically, every week, in a fraction of the time. Ripple's engineers no longer wait on QA.

Weekly release cadence, achieved and maintained

Shipping frequently is Ripple's competitive advantage. BotGauge made it a reality. Consistent weekly releases replaced unpredictable, delayed launch cycles.

Zero engineering involvement in QA

Ripple's engineers are fully freed from manual QA. They build. BotGauge tests. No overlap, no context switching, no firefighting.

Fewer production bugs

Critical regressions that previously slipped into production are now caught before they ship. The cost of fixing bugs in production, estimated at 4-5x the cost of catching them in testing, has dropped significantly.

Zero test maintenance burden

As Ripple's platform grows, the test suite stays up to date automatically. The engineering team has not spent time on test maintenance since onboarding.

In Their Own Words

"Zero maintenance. Their AI agents learn our product and adapt as we ship changes. No brittle scripts breaking at 2 AM. Same-day coverage. We see comprehensive test results within hours, not weeks. With AQaaS, our engineers at Ripple focus on shipping features, not maintaining test suites."
