"Tests run on Launch plan take 2-12 hours to execute." - i normally run my test suite several times when developing and i'm sure i'm not the only developer that does this. having to wait 2-12 hours per run is completely incomprehensible and unacceptable. with that in mind, how and where do you see a service like this fitting into the development life-cycle?

my thinking is that this a late stage April Fools day prank.

TestRise is a fit for applications that have launched and say do weekly deployments to production which need to be periodically tested. The client can use our service to test their staging environment first and after all their tests have passed, they can get us to test production afterwards as well.

Companies who require faster turnaround times will be able to do so in the future as well. The Unlimited plan with a single parallel test works very well for early stage startups that can execute the tests at the end of their workday knowing that when they come back the next morning they will have their results.

The unlimited plan is not a good fit for people who are deploying multiple times a day and need much faster turnaround times.

I guess this is more for testing a built application, by actual users, which is not easily automated using a test suite. Totally acceptable in my opinion.
