7 Software Testing Tool Success Stories [2023]

Hello, my name is Adam Sandman, and I’m the Founder and CEO of Inflectra Corporation - a tech company based in the Washington, DC area. Our flagship product is SpiraPlan and our companion testing automation tool – Rapise. Our mission is to bring harmony to customers’ software development and testing process, and our products help customers design, develop, test and release their most mission-critical applications. Today, Inflectra is doing about $10MM in ARR and we hope to continue growing at between 30-40% YoY.

One of the most rewarding things about our business is that we see our customers every day; they are everywhere! As our business focuses on medium-large companies (which is unusual, I know!) in industries such as food, transportation, logistics, banking, insurance, defense, and life sciences, we see them in everyday life. When visiting the doctors, I will see the name of our clients; when traveling, the plane I am flying in, the fuel we are using, the airport I am landing at, and so much more. Inflectra’s customers are the critical infrastructure that keeps the entire world running, and we make the software platform - SpiraPlan that helps them deliver. That is very cool.

ScrapingBee was founded by Kevin Sahin and Pierre de Wulf. It’s a useful tool specially designed to help people or businesses that need to quickly scrape the web but don't want to spend a lot of time doing it.

They completely bootstrapped their business and built their MVP very quickly, as they needed cash to come in as quickly as possible.

The business started in 2019 and in just three years, the founders have grown ScrapingBee to $1M+ ARR. 99% of revenue is attributed to SEO strategies and practices.

The ScrapingBee API takes care of headless browsers and rotates proxies so you can concentrate on data extraction. They set up the web application, database, and the entire system on Heroku.

Businesses across a variety of industries, including e-commerce for price monitoring, SEO firms for tracking SERP results, lead generation, and general data mining, uses ScrapingBee.
