METHODOLOGY
The calculator estimates the annual cost of manual testing time that TestBot can automate, and compares it to TestBot's annual subscription cost.
Manual testing cost = Engineers × Hourly Rate × Testing Hours per Week × 52 weeks × 60% automatable. The 60% figure is conservative - TestBot customers report 60–80% reduction in manual testing effort on their devices. Hourly rate should be the fully-loaded cost: salary divided by 2,080 annual working hours.
TestBot cost = Base annual licence ($108/station/yr) × stations + selected protocol agent licences × stations. Hardware adapters (CAN Adapter, BLE Adapter, etc.) are one-time purchases not included in the annual figure.
Payback period = TestBot annual cost ÷ (manual testing cost ÷ 12).
ROI = (Annual savings ÷ TestBot annual cost) × 100. A 500% ROI means TestBot saves 5× its cost per year.
Frequently Asked Questions - TestBot ROI
TestBot customers report 60–80% reduction in manual testing effort for the protocol and interface tests that TestBot covers. The remaining 20–40% typically includes exploratory testing, edge cases that require human judgment, and physical inspection tasks. The calculator uses 60% as a conservative default - adjust it upward if your testing is highly repetitive and protocol-heavy.
