Return on Investment
  • We saved a lot of money by using this tool instead of purchasing expensive ones
  • The implementation of integrations test was supposed to take 6 months of development. With GI it took 2 months only
  • Training QA to build integration tests using GI is much less that any other tool that might need development skills

  • Need extended support and improved usage. any onsite experience with the team here will help you get 1st hand experience.
