See what our customers are saying

BugBug is super intuitive and lowers the barrier of becoming an end-to-end tester. It reduces development time and significantly lowers the cost of software testing.

— Wojciech, CEO at Davinci-Studio.com

In two days we managed to automate test cases that took us weeks to write up and execute using other software. It is easy to use, yet can still perform advanced testing should the tester want to.

— Panayiotis, Software Tester, ATM Marketing

Very good and fast support from the BugBug team. Have clear documentation which really helps you to get started. Features like scheduling test cases and getting results are perfect for our needs.

— Imalka, QA Engineer at Calcey.com
