Qodex review is far better than CodeRabbit, and API testing that took weeks now takes half a day. The quality is much higher.
Aravind MurthyCTO, Factors.aiBackground
A B2B SaaS team in Bengaluru shipping a web app on top of a set of APIs.
Factors.ai builds an account-based marketing and attribution platform: it tells B2B marketing teams which accounts to go after and which campaigns actually brought the revenue. The product is a web app backed by APIs, and the product engineering team ships to it continuously.
The problem
Review left comments. Test coverage took weeks.
Factors ran PR review on CodeRabbit. It commented on diffs, but a comment on a diff is not evidence that the change works.
API test coverage was a separate job. Writing the tests for a release took weeks, so coverage trailed the code instead of gating it.
The switch
Review on every pull request, then the tests run.
The team moved PR review to Qodex. Review now triggers on every pull request and runs 100+ deterministic and model-based checks against the change.
It does not stop at comments. Qodex generates the API collection for the change and runs the API tests against it, so the pull request carries a test result, not an opinion.
Results
Weeks of test writing became half a day.
API test coverage for a release that took weeks now takes half a day. The team rates the review quality well above what CodeRabbit gave them.
