What this

one catch saved.

10hrs

Dev time saved

Shipped, a complete checkout regression on a $3,000+ product is an all-hands moment, someone has to triage it as critical, reproduce it, identify what broke in the checkout routing, ship a fix, and verify it's resolved.

$3,148

Per lost sale

Every customer who clicked checkout during this window walked away empty-handed. On a product with an average order value of over $3,000, each lost conversion is a significant hit.

2hrs

Manual QA time

This one is actually quick to catch manually, anyone clicking through a basic purchase flow would hit it immediately. The real cost is how long it might have stayed live without automated testing.

The actual test

Incorrect values

A single-step exploratory run on Eight Sleep's site. Spur navigated naturally through the purchase flow, closing modals, accepting cookies, browsing to the sale, selecting a product size and failed the moment it hit checkout. Seven actions in, before any payment details were ever needed.
