Qase
Test case management platform for Dev and QA teams
It took more than ten months to reach from zero to $5.5k in MRR (since the first paid plan launch in October 2019). Today I'm happy to share that Qase has passed the first significant milestone!
So, how I did that? On 1st October 2019, I have launched a single paid plan with a flat price 10$/user. Revenue growth has started, but it was slow. Most of it was from users who wanted to try additional features like API or Test Case Review. It took eight months to reach $3k MRR. Slow, isn't it?
I've decided to change my approach: increase the price, add annual plans, and go deep into the sales process: cold messages in LinkedIn, more demos, upselling current customers. All of that helped almost to double my monthly recurring revenue. I hope to see $6k in MRR at the end of the month.
The next important milestone is $8.33k because it is equal to $100k ARR.
Every week we deploy new features, improvements, and enhancements to our users. Some of them are based on the feedback you provide on a roadmap page. Today I want to share with you a compilation of such improvements that were shipped in October.
A new big update of Qase.io. Read more in Medium blog post: https://medium.com/qase/plans-and-runs-280ffd381238
Today is the first day, when everyone can create account and start using test case management service Qase.io.
We've launched as MVP, with necessary features: test cases repository with team collaboration.
More information about the launch can be found in our blog post on medium: https://medium.com/qase/open-beta-launch-49dee0da463c
This day we've released alpha version for a small number of users, who has left their emails in the form on temporary landing.
80% of them followed the link and successfully finished registration. But none of them came back to the app next day/week/month.
App was useless. So i've decided to focus on features and deliver as much value as i can.
Hello, my name is Nikita and here is a brief story about Qase.io birth.
One day I was checking a test plan for a product I was working on. This test plan was composed by our QA guys in TestRails. It is really a great software for test case management, but why it looks so bad? I got an idea, to build a test case management system that won't look like a website from the 90s and will have a great UI and UX. That was a starting point.
I've started digging into quality assurance. I've learned the basics, talked to people in other companies about their problems in software testing. Talked to small and big QA teams. That helped me to find some problems, that hadn't been solved by other solutions like TestRails and etc.
So for now, Qase.io is not a common test case management tool with good UI/UX. It has unique features and can compete with big players.
