From In-House Challenges to HyperExecute Success: How Dashlane Achieved 50% Faster Testing

Evaluating Solutions: Dashlane’s Search for Excellence

Dashlane embarked on a journey to find a testing solution that could meet their growing demands and streamline their operations. They outlined several requirements, including SSL capabilities, automation support, mobile platform and real device compatibility, parallel test execution, Cypress integration, visual regression support, exceptional customer service, and cost-effectiveness.

The team needed a test orchestration platform capable of enhancing testing speed, reducing interruptions for developers, and enabling a smooth shift-left transition. After an extensive benchmarking process that assessed performance, cost, capabilities, stability, and support, LambdaTest’s HyperExecute platform emerged as the top choice.

The performance of individual tests on HyperExecute took nearly half the time compared to their local test infrastructure. Also, it drastically reduced the number of flaky tests thanks to the sanitized infrastructure. Another great benefit was the prompt and reliable customer support. Dashlane decided to go ahead with LambdaTest’s HyperExecute as it outperformed their in-house setup as well as the alternatives they had put to test.

What Happened After Dashlane Adopted HyperExecute

Dashlane’s journey with LambdaTest showcases a progressive integration of LambdaTest's capabilities to meet growing testing needs. In 2020, they began with LambdaTest’s Manual Testing on Live, leveraging parallel sessions to streamline their workflows. By 2023, Dashlane expanded their HyperExecute capacity for parallel sessions, ensuring they could handle increasing testing demands effectively. In 2024, Dashlane introduced SmartUI for Visual Regression Testing, capturing thousands of screenshots to maintain a consistent user interface across browsers and devices.

Dashlane fully utilized their allocated parallels on HyperExecute and regularly executed a large number of tests, reflecting consistent and extensive test activity. This systematic expansion allowed Dashlane to execute more parallel tests, adopt shift-left strategies, and incorporate visual regression, all while accelerating release cycles and minimizing developer friction.

Impact of HyperExecute on Dashlane’s Testing Strategy

After adopting HyperExecute, Dashlane achieved the following:

Accelerated Test Execution: Dashlane discovered that HyperExecute could significantly cut down their test execution time. For example, HyperExecute could run about 70 test cases in 40 seconds, whereas their previous internal infrastructure took about 80 seconds.

Eliminating Flaky Tests: A survey published in October 2021 shows that flaky tests with inconsistent results are a common issue even for tech giants like Google and Microsoft, where flaky rates reach 41% and 26%, respectively. By transitioning to HyperExecute, Dashlane achieved a near-zero flaky test rate, thanks to LambdaTest's reliable and well-maintained cloud infrastructure.

Enhanced Data Visibility: HyperExecute’s dashboard collects all the test data, saving Dashlane hours of gathering logs and data from multiple sources. Automated reports are easily generated and shared with a single click, making collaboration efficient.

Exceptional Customer Support: From trial to post-integration, LambdaTest’s support team was a reliable partner, consistently quick to resolve issues and available for direct communication on Slack. This exceptional support allowed Dashlane’s team to focus on their testing strategy without interruptions.

Results and Key Benefits: By partnering with LambdaTest, Dashlane found a reliable and scalable solution in HyperExecute. The key outcomes included:

• 50% faster test execution time
• Nearly 0% of flaky tests due to infrastructure stability
• Best in industry customer service
• Infrastructure on demand
• Properly sanitized and new machine every time to run tests at ease
